Shepparton Race 2 - Eddie Tappe Maiden Pace
LOWER WEST SIDE (3) was held up for clear running when fifth at Melton on debut then came from this barrier for third last start, beaten 4.5 metres at this venue. Open to further improvement so could break through. BILL (4) started favourite when finishing sixth first up at Bendigo but he did end up three back on the pegs from his second row draw. He'll be fitter and starts from the front line this time so can do better. HELLO POSSUMS (6) should be nearing peak fitness fourth-up and look close to a win after back-to-back placings, the latest from the second line at Geelong. LUVN MARY (9) hasn't raced since a debut fourth at Mildura in May but should be forward enough following three recent trials.

Two runs back broke in score up and was out of position at the start 5th (Fr3) over 1690m at this track, beaten 40 m by Sirlou (2:00.70) in 3yo MAIDEN on November 26 2024 at $81. Will take a lot from that run; in the mix.

Solid run when beaten by 2.25 m finishing third behind Theroux at Melton over 2240m in a MAIDEN on December 31 at $8. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Believeitor Not at Geelong over 1609m in a MAIDEN on January 16 at $41. Rates highly and likely to be prominent again.
