Shepparton Race 8 - J & A Mazzetti Painting Pace
WHERES WOOD WOOD (5) led and faded when well fancied last start but had looked close to a win prior, placing in three of her previse four outings. Prepared to give her another chance. MYNAMEISRUBY (2) turned in a much better effort last start when runner-up at this circuit and distance, beaten 3.5 metres after leading from a wider barrier. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Major player. MURIEL (1) gets the inside draw and must be considered after placing in her last two outings. FAVOURITEHIGHLIGHT (4) has claims after placing from a wider draw here last week.

Solid performance when beaten by 2.25 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Freak Out at Melton over 1720m in a NR up to 35 on October 3 at $19. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Lester at Kilmore over 2180m in a NR up to 36 on October 9 at $10. Leading contender.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Lilstrepo at Bendigo over 2150m in a NR up to 39 on October 1 at $12. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Ohhemmjay Cresco at this track over 2190m in a NR up to 39 on October 7 at $6. Rates highly. Leading player.

Last start was well beaten into seventh after showing early speed, behind Emjay Jazz at Bendigo over 1650m in a NR 40 to 44 on October 1 at $2.60. Raced better the start before that with a good run when 2nd (Sr1) over 2190m at this track, beaten 4 m by Rolling Remona (2:45.10) in NR up to 42 on September 23 at $4.80. Will be right in the thick of things.
