Shepparton Race 6 - Kyabram Trotting Club Trot
DHONI TROUBLE (8) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 2170m at Cobram, finishing second and just 1.5 metres from the winner. Can settle just behind them and wait on the sprint lane. Won't find this any harder, and he can take this out. STARLIGHT RED (3) settled close to the pace and closed well to finish second last start over 1690m at this track, adding to her sound recent efforts. No excuses from this advantageous draw. This is a nice drop in grade, so she is set to continue her impressive recent form. ABBIE (7) is the next elect off a last-start win by 1.2 metres at this track over 1690m. NIGHT SKY (9) is in the mix following a fourth at her most recent appearance over 1690m at this track.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after a quick start, behind Wallis at Echuca over 2160m in a NR up to 42 on April 20 at $1.70. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Blanco Canyon at Melton over 1720m in a NR up to 45 on April 25 at $7. Nicely drawn and expected to measure up again.

Solid run when beaten by 2.5 m finishing third behind Champagne Charley at Echuca over 2130m in a No NR on April 20 at $5. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.2 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Abbie at this track over 1690m in a NR up to 50 on April 29 at $6.50. Has a low draw and will go well again.

Didn't do much last time out, 5th (Fr2) over 2190m at this track, beaten 12 m by Settle The Bill (2:52.60) in NR up to 49 on April 22 at $18. Before that 6th (Sr3) over 2150m at Bendigo was 7th-14.62 at the bell, beaten 7 m by Abbie (2:43.30) in NR up to 45 on April 9 at $101. This looks far too tough.

Comes here second-up after a week-and-a-half. Lacklustre first-up performance when 6th (Sr3) over 1690m at this track beaten 30 m by Miss Ohana (2:05.80) in 0-1 WIN on April 22 at $34. Not keen.

Last start was well back in the run when 5th (Fr6) over 1690m after racing wide at this track beaten 25 m by Miss Ohana (2:05.80) in 0-1 WIN on April 22 at $23. Two runs back won by 6 m (Fr3) at Kilmore (2:49.00) beating Hody Moke in 3yo+ MAIDEN on March 27 at $5.50. Finds a few better. Will need some luck.
