GOING: N

SHEPPARTON SHOWCASE PODCAST PACE 1690m

Track: GOOD      

THERESHEWAS (3) modest result two starts ago at Bathurst then again didn't measure up at her latest appearance over 1690m at this track, beaten 7 metres into sixth after being handy in the run. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Tackles a similar assignment and she can turn in a much better performance. ELIZAJANE (4) finished third last start over 1690m at this track, beaten a head. That was an improvement on the unplaced effort at this track the run before. Meets a similar line up and she is capable of another bold performance. MASTER MIKI (9) is also high on the list of contenders despite a tough draw. Best form measures up favourably in this line-up so just needs a bit of luck to go his way. WILL HE REIGN (11) cannot be ruled out but needs a bit of luck from the tricky draw.

Comes here second-up after a month. Lacklustre first-up performance when 9th (Fr3) over 1740m after showing early speed at Riverina Paceway, well beaten by Seaside Sid (2:04.30) in NR up to 52 on March 27 at $34. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.
