GOING: G

Shepparton Club Maiden Plate 1450m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 26)   Rail: Out 2m 700m - 300m, True Remainder. (Pent: 5.60)  

Neverenoughlego and Misil Concett are both expected to press forward and take it up. NEVERENOUGHLEGO (6) can bounce back. He was found wanting in a plain effort at Kilmore last time when beaten at $1.30 but had been knocking on the door prior with form that would win this. Like him coming back to 1450m and drawn perfectly, he should take a power of catching. COSTA PAROS (4) was unplaced on debut then last start finished third over 1300m at Ararat after being prominent at the corner. Can improve again now and prove hard to hold out. OPEN BAR (7) is a gelding by Proisir and out of the dam Brookbars on debut for the Busuttin & Young yard. Have to respect off a solid jumpout. PUNIC WAR (8) hasn't been far away in recent efforts and has claims third-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Neverenoughlego to break through.

At the latest run eased back early on 8th of 11 at Albury Mdn-Sw on December 6 over 1175m, 9 len behind Forte Cheval with 59kg at $41. The start before that held ground to the line 3rd of 9 at Penshurst 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on November 22 over 1284m, 2 len behind Ellyette carrying 59.5kg at $4.40. Not one of the major players.

Was well-supported at debut, came from midfield; 2nd of 9 at Penshurst 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on November 22 over 1284m, 1.0 len behind Ellyette with 58kg at $3. Sure to come on from that run and appeals as one of the major players.

At the latest run raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 9 at Kilmore Mdn-Sw on November 23 over 1600m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Admire Ace carrying 58kg at $1.30. The start before that held ground to the line 2nd of 11 at Ararat Mdn-Sw on November 9 over 1600m, 0.8 len behind Aka Daka carrying 58kg at $2.60. An inside barrier is a big advantage. Expected to bounce right back.
