Shepparton Race 5 - Helma Gash Neatline Homes 3Yo Maiden Pace
ALWAYS ON SAFARI (2) looks close to a win having placed in his last two outings. Beaten just over a metre here two back before he finished third last start at Kilmore. Came from wider barriers in both of those outings so should have no excuses from this advantageous draw. Gets his chance. SMALLTOWNSMOKESHOW (4) was in the market on debut but raced greenly and broke. Suspect there is good ability there so give her another chance. LUVN OSMAN (9) draws on the back row but wasn't too far away last time and had looked close to a win when runner-up at his previous two. DIEING FEAR (3) returns off a trial win and draws well so keep safe.

Solid performance when beaten by 1.1 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Milola Rock at this track over 1690m in a MAIDEN on March 18 at $6.50. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after showing early speed, behind The Art Of Success at Kilmore over 1690m in a 3yo+ MAIDEN on March 27 at $5. Close to a win.
