Shepparton Race 6 - Nathalia Printers Trot
HOME AND DRY NZ (8) ran fourth last start at this track over 1690m, beaten 15 metres. No harm in drawing here with the sprint lane to rely upon and rates a leading hope in a similar race. MISS PIGGY WIGGY (9) settled back off the second line and never looked a threat when seventh last start over 2180m at Kilmore. Has the class to take care of this field. OLLY ODD POTTS (4) was responsible for a better effort last time out when runner-up over 1690m here. Should run a big race. THE LADYBIRD NZ (7) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 1690m at this circuit last time out.

Two back was seventh after showing early speed, behind Iamawingate at Terang over 1680m in a NR up to 44 on January 26 at $11. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind Alcatraz Girl at this track over 1690m in a NR up to 37 on February 17 at $31. With even luck is a winning chance.

Last start was fourth behind Whata Optimist at this track over 1690m in a NR 38 to 43 on February 17 at $4.40. Performed better the start before with a game effort when 2nd (Fr4) over 1690m after being wide early at this track, at the bell was leading 0.69 beaten 4 m by Calivil (2:03.30) in NR 40 to 46 on February 10 at $6.50. Looks very hard to beat.
