Shepparton Race 7

Vhrc / Mazzetti Painting Maiden Trot

Prize Money: $6,000

FARSTAR (6) looks close to a win having placed in his last two starts after racing parked from back row draws. Starts on the front line this time and could break through. ALIZA MEL (5) hasn't raced since her fifth at Listed level at Melton six-and-a-half months ago. Likely to have developed with maturity and was readied with a trial. BET BET HOTSHOT (2) broke last start at Melton but had consistent form earlier in his campaign, putting together a string of top-four finishes. Draws to play a role. WAR DAN PHOENIX (7) hasn't raced since manners let him down on debut back in September but a trial placing at Melton suggests he has improved since then so keep him safe.

Resumes. At the latest first-up run 9th (Sr1) over 2180m at Stawell well beaten by Im Shipping Steel (2:53.70) on March 29 2024 at $101. Recent trials will help bring him on but a lack of race-fitness might work against.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Shinelikethesun at this track over 2190m in a MAIDEN on March 8 at $9. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing second behind Butlers Wharf at Bendigo over 2150m in a 4yo+ MAIDEN on March 18 at $6.50. Can break through this time.
