Shepparton Race 5

Thank You Dave Bartley Pace

Prize Money: $6,000

JILLIBY ILLUSION (5) made a winning return at her latest appearance six weeks ago, getting home by 9 metres over 2190m at this track. Her last-start form is good enough to win a race of this calibre. STAY ALPHA (1) settled handy and closed well to finish third last start over 1740m at Riverina Paceway, the second minor placing on the trot. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Primary contender in a similar race. LADY OF HOPE (3) is the next elect off a last-start win by 4.5 metres at Riverina Paceway over 1740m when fresh from a spell. TEXAN BRANACH (8) must be respected after scoring last start by 15 metres at Riverina Paceway over 1740m. Include in combinations.

Two back was well beaten into third after showing early speed, behind Rudimentary at Riverina Paceway over 1740m in a MAIDEN GH on June 17 at $14. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after a quick start, behind Slipalong Saint at Riverina Paceway over 1740m in a MAIDEN on June 24 at $16. Nicely drawn and expected to measure up again.
