Shepparton Race 5 - Neatline Homes Shepparton Gold Cup (G3)

TACT MCLEOD (3) led and fought on well to be edged out by just a nose as a hot favourite in last week's Bendigo Cup. That was just his second outing since his Inter Dominion bid was thwarted by a setback so the hitout should have brought him on further and he was a strong Menangle winner in his Australian debut two back. Can take advantage of the low draw and atone. MIKI PINS (11) is an exciting gelding who heads south after winning his last four outings at Menangle, last week racing parked but proving too good by 3m. Takes a step up in grade and draws on the back row but has shown enough of late to suggest he is up to it. KANENA PROVLIMA (2) made it back-to-back placings when third from the back line in the Bendigo Cup. Must respect from the good draw. CAPTAIN HAMMERHEAD (4) won his only attempt here and is proven fresh so keep him safe. CANTFINDABETTORMAN (13) worked very hard last week and while he draws a similar barrier he is capable of much better with some luck on his side.

Before that was well back in the run when 6th (Fr6) over 1609m after being wide early at Geelong, beaten 19 m by Triple Eight (1:52.70) in No NR on December 20 at $8.50. Not keen.

Solid performance when beaten by 2 m finishing third behind Star Major at Menangle over 2300m in a No NR on December 14 at $6. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Swayzee at Bathurst over 2790m in a G3 No NR on December 26 at $26. Going well and gets every chance from this draw.

Last start surrendered the lead and finished 12th (Fr2) over 2650m after showing early speed at Bendigo beaten 13 m by Bulletproof Boy (3:10.50) in G2 No NR on January 4 at $81. Two runs back posted a big 5 m win as favourite when driven back in the field, (Sr3) held up early, at Mildura (2:08.80) beating Imperials Reason in NR 65 on December 20 at $1.28. Unlikely to threaten in this tough assignment.

Failed to impress last start; 8th (Sr4) over 2650m at Bendigo, beaten 8 m by Bulletproof Boy (3:10.50) in G2 No NR on January 4 at $6. Showed ability the run before when he won by 4.5 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr4) at Menangle (2:42.60) beating Perfect Stride in No NR on December 14 at $3.70. Right in this with better luck.
