Shepparton Race 7 - Courtney Laker Pace
RANDOM MAHONEY (4) was hampered by a flat tyre last start so ignore that result. Scored back-to-back placings in higher-graded races prior, one at this circuit and distance when he came from this barrier to miss by a neck. Big chance. HIGHVIEW HAMMER (3) had enough speed to lead from a wider barrier at his latest appearance at this circuit and distance and went on to score by 1.6 metres. Up in grade but can go forward again from this favourable draw. Leading hope. KEAYANG SANTIAGO (5) was forced to cover ground and work last start so is worth another chance. CHAMPAGNE WALSH (6) eases back in grade on the last two attempts and recorded a series of top-two finishes prior.

Last start 3rd (Fr1) over 1690m after showing early speed at this track, at the bell was 3rd-3.3 beaten 12 m by Highview Hammer (2:02.80) in NR 39 to 44 on January 20 at $51. Two runs back 9th (Sr1) over 1690m at this track, beaten 16 m by Interpretation (2:03.10) in NR up to 49 on January 6 at $101. Not as keen on his chances in this line-up.

Last start 9th (Sr2) over 1690m at this track beaten 30 m by Highview Hammer (2:02.80) in NR 39 to 44 on January 20 at $14. Before that, 6th (Sr3) over 1690m at this track beaten 6 m by Interpretation (2:03.10) in NR up to 49 on January 6 at $126. Certainly up to this and expected to do much better.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 7th (Fr6) over 1690m after showing early speed and racing wide at this track, beaten 25 m by Betathanaboughtone (2:02.40) in NR 45 to 50 on January 20 at $9. At the previous start 8th (Fr2) over 2190m at this track beaten 60 m by Inside Leg (2:41.80) in NR 50 to 55 on December 9 at $5. Better than the last few runs suggest.
