Shepparton Race 9

Wager Wednesday Shrc Facebook Pace

Prize Money: $5,000

MISS HERMES (6) finished sixth last start over 1740m at Riverina Paceway, beaten 7 metres, after a good win at Leeton the run prior. Finds a nice race and can return to winning form. NEDS BEACH NZ (2) was in the money at Port Pirie two runs ago before having his colours lowered at his latest appearance over 1800m at Globe Derby Park, beaten 14 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run and rates a primary contender if anywhere near his best. BETATHANABOUGHTONE (3) is on the radar after her last-start fifth over 1690m at this track two weeks ago. Top-three candidate. TEX GOES BANG (1) disappointed last time when ninth over 2240m at Melton. Can do a lot better so worth considering from the coveted pegs draw.

Last start was well back in the run when 10th (Fr7) over 1800m at Globe Derby Park, beaten 14 m by Twin Connection (2:12.00) in 4yo+ on September 12 at $101. Before that, a solid effort when 2nd (Fr2) over 1609m after showing early pace at Port Pirie, beaten 4 m by Allornothinglevi (1:56.30) on September 8 at $9.50. Has a low draw this time and can improve sharply.

Comes here second-up after two weeks. Lacklustre first-up performance when 9th (Fr2) over 1758m after showing early speed at Leeton, beaten 75 m by Angelic Attitude (2:07.90) in M on September 1 at $81. Cannot enthuse in this tough race.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr3) over 1740m at Riverina Paceway, at the bell was 6th-11.8 beaten 7 m by Barwen Storm (2:07.30) on September 8 at $7.50. Showed ability the outing before when she won by 1.4 m (Fr4) at Leeton (2:11.00) beating Valentini in on September 1 at $3.50 at the bell was 5th-9.8. Strong contender.
