Shepparton Race 8

Neatline 3yo Pace

Prize Money: $6,000

DELIZIOSO (6) hasn't raced since she placed in the Tatlow Stakes 11 months ago but showed plenty of talent as a juvenile, highlighted by her Nutrien Classic win. Readied with two nice trials so can make a winning return. ROM BARO (5) enjoys a big class drop from the Vicbred Super Series where his best result was a fourth in the heats before he went on to qualify for the final. Went into that series off a placing at this venue. Better placed. ARTIES COURAGE (1) is a three-year-old filly by Lochinvar Art on debut. Won her latest trial and should enjoy a nice run from the ace draw. LA SMOOCH (4) is first up for four-and-a-half months but was readied with a nice trial so is capable of a forward showing while fresh.

Resuming after a spell of 11 months. Finished off last campaign when well beaten into third behind Pre Eminant at Melton over 2240m in a 2yo F on October 25 at $26. Previous preparation first-up came home strongly from last on the turn and won by a nose as favourite (Sr1) at Riverina Paceway (2:05.80) beating Bettes Blue Violet in on October 14 at $1.90. Talented and finds a nice race to launch the campaign.

Comes here second-up after eight days. Lacklustre first-up performance when hung in on scoring up, 9th (Sr2) over 1609m at Charlton, well beaten by Miss Adelia (1:58.20) on September 21 at $101. Others better.
