Shepparton Race 8

Neatline Maiden Trot

Prize Money: $6,000

MISS KOMMUNICATION (4) is yet to win but has kicked off her career in promising fashion with three placings from four starts. Registered yet another strong performance last time when she battled on bravely to finish second over 1609m at Cranbourne. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. GALHALLA (1) finished third on debut last start despite copping a check and galloping, beaten 14 metres over 1690m at this circuit. Big chance again in a similar assignment. GREAT HORIZON (3) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid fourth at Bendigo over 2150m. Hard to find fault. ALDEBARAN DENBAY (8) was out of the money two runs ago then broke and finished fifth last start over 1690m at this course, coming home 30 metres from the winner. Can feature if he behaves.

Four-year-old gelding facing the starter for the second time. At debut solid effort when 3rd (Fr3) over 1690m at this track, at the bell was leading 0.38 beaten 14 m by Aldebaran Zane (2:13.70) in 4yo+ on May 19 at $7. Likely improver from a low draw.

Last start 5th (Fr3) over 2190m at this track beaten 60 m by Little Miss Valley (2:52.50) in 4yo+ on April 21 at $9.50. At the run before broke in score up and was out of position at the start 11th (Sr1) over 1690m at this track beaten 90 m by Banos (2:09.30) on April 14 at $21. Encouraging effort last time and can improve further.

Last start surrendered the lead and finished 4th (Fr3) over 2150m after showing early speed at Bendigo beaten 20 m by Morning Dove (2:44.90) on May 13 at $26. Before that, 4th (Fr4) over 1690m at this track, beaten 30 m by Taken By Wine (2:08.40) on May 3 at $5.50. Capable of taking this out.

Two back was seventh behind Victree Vic at Kilmore over 1690m in a 4yo+ on May 7 at $12. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Desert Royale at Cranbourne over 1609m on May 17 at $9. Very hard to beat.

Comes here second-up after three-and-a-half weeks. Lacklustre first-up performance when 8th (Sr1) over 1690m at this track well beaten by Taken By Wine (2:08.40) on May 3 at $41. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Last start was beaten after breaking at this track on May 19. At his previous start was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr7) over 1690m after being wide early at this track beaten 30 m by Banos (2:09.30) on April 14 at $23. Better than the last run so worth another chance.
