Shepparton Race 3 - Aldebaran Park Trot
MISS OHANA (7) scored last start by 9 metres in a breakthrough win this campaign at this track over 1690m. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Tackles a similar assignment, and she can go right on with the job. SETTLE THE BILL (3) made it two wins from her last three starts when she scored by 5 metres on April 22 over 2190m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw. Must raise the bar, but another win is not out of the question. THE CHOOK (2) is the next best after finishing runner-up over 2150m at Bendigo last time out. BETSY ANNE (4) cannot be ruled out after breaking her maiden status a week-and-a-half ago over 1650m at Bendigo.

Didn't do much last time out, 8th (Fr7) over 2190m after being wide early at this track was leading by 1m on the pegs at the bell, beaten 30 m by Mac Flick (2:46.50) in NR 50 to 56 on March 18 at $51. Before that 11th (Sr5) over 2240m at Melton, beaten 65 m by Keayang Lavita (2:46.40) in NR up to 55 on February 22 at $7. Form not up to scratch.

Two back was well beaten into eleventh after a quick start, behind Bullapark Beno at Bendigo over 1650m in a NR 46 to 53 on April 9 at $8. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Sista Evarista at Bendigo over 2150m in a NR up to 50 M on April 23 at $5. Top chance in this line-up.

Two back was well beaten into third after showing early speed, behind Sky Spirit at Kilmore over 2180m in a 0-1 WIN on April 10 at $34. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after showing early speed, behind Miss Ohana at this track over 1690m in a 0-1 WIN on April 22 at $6. Rates highly. Strong claims on what we have seen lately.

Last start 11th (Fr4) over 2150m after showing early pace at Bendigo, beaten 50 m by Tictok (2:39.10) in NR 57 to 66 on April 23 at $19. Two runs back 4th (Fr3) over 1690m at Kilmore was 3rd-5.26 at the bell, beaten 5 m by Winnies Dream (2:05.30) in NR 54 to 60 on April 10 at $3.70. This looks a far sterner test.
