Shepparton Race 7 - Thank You Daryl Olney Pace
GOTTA HAV ME (7) has been unplaced when well in the market in both outings since a spell but they have come in stronger company so she is better placed in this line-up. Draws wide but won the only time she raced here and will be nearing peak fitness. SKYFALL BENCHMARK (4) drew poorly and was held up late when midfield last time at Melton. Has raced four times at this circuit and distance for two wins and two placings so will enjoy the return to this venue. APACHE PLUME (1) is in the mix after placing from this barrier last start at Kilmore. CORNISHTOWN KID (6) resumes after seven months but has been readied with two nice trials. Look out for any positive market movement.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 6th (Sr4) over 1720m at Melton beaten 35 m by Apollostorm (2:01.50) in NR 50 to 55 on March 29 at $11. The run previous was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr7) over 1650m at Bendigo, at the bell was 8th-12.6m 2WWC beaten 6 m by Lorimermajor (1:58.40) in NR 50 to 55 on March 12 at $3.50. Can play a far greater role this time.
