Shepparton Race 5 - Fara Lot 176 For A Cause Pace
IFYOULOVEMELETMEGO (5) settled handy then went to the front and finished the race off in style to take out a 1690m race at Maryborough last start, adding to her fine second the run prior at this track. Won't find this any harder and she can salute once again. HOME AND DRY NZ (4) finished sixth last start over 1609m at Cranbourne, beaten 10 metres, after filling a minor placing at the previous appearance over 1720m at Melton. This is a nice drop in grade so he is a major player. CALIVIL (9) is better than his last-start eighth over 1609m at Charlton. Watch for sharp improvement. OUTA THE BLUE (3) is worth some thought after her last-start fifth when resuming over 1690m at Maryborough on January 28. Strips fitter now.

Back in form at the last couple of outings, two starts back won by 1.5 m (Sr2) at Kilmore (2:44.40) beating Princess Arna in NR up to 45 M on January 15 at $19. Last start just missed, good run when 2nd (Sr3) over 2150m at Bendigo was 2nd-7.94 at the bell, beaten 2 m by Lord Verde (2:39.80) in NR up to 42 on January 21 at $12. Sure to be thereabouts.

Failed to impress last start; 9th (Fr7) over 1609m after showing early speed and racing wide at Cranbourne, at the bell was leading 0.7 beaten 15 m by Wingate Guy (1:56.50) in NR up to 50 on January 31 at $41. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 1.5 m when quickly away, (Fr5) at this track (2:02.80) beating Ifyoulovemeletmego in NR 39 to 44 on January 20 at $10 at the bell was leading 3.3. Can improve enough to feature.
