Shepparton Race 3 - Warby Range Pet Foods Wangaratta Pace
SCHERGER THAT (7) finished third at his most recent outing, beaten 24 metres, in a nice return to form at Kilmore over 2180m when second-up from a break. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Meets a similar line up so he is capable of taking this out. SPARTAN SHIELD (6) was unplaced two starts ago then scored a commanding win last start over 1635m at Temora, getting home by 8 metres after finding the lead in the early stages. Big chance in a similar assignment. CALEDONIAN RANGER (2) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1790m at Ararat. CATIES SON (1) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound second at Riverina Paceway over 1740m.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr6) over 1690m at this track was 7th-12.83 at the bell, beaten 12 m by Soho Playgirl (2:02.50) in NR 50 to 55 on March 3 at $81. Two runs back 6th (Sr1) over 1670m at Cobram beaten 21 m by Skyfall Benchmark (1:58.60) in NR up to 55 on December 28 at $26. Strips fitter and is a solid top-three chance.

Comes here second-up after two-and-a-half weeks. Lacklustre first-up performance when 10th (Sr1) over 2150m at Bendigo, beaten 35 m by Feel The Reign (2:38.80) in NR 50 to 55 on February 20 at $51. Not keen on his chances in this field.

Last start was well back in the run when 5th (Fr7) over 2190m at this track was 8th-9.18 at the bell, beaten 13 m by Interpretation (2:42.20) in NR 50 to 56 on February 17 at $61. At his previous start solid effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr6) over 1690m at this track, at the bell was 4th-4.83 beaten 8 m by Good Tobe Locksley (2:02.50) in NR 52 to 56 on February 10 at $26. From a decent drawn is expected to do better this time.

Two back was well beaten into ninth after being driven well back, behind Crusader Miss at Ballarat over 1710m in a NR 56 to 64 on January 29 at $23. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after a quick start, behind Isolation at Kilmore over 2180m in a NR 52 to 56 on February 26 at $3.60. Well placed and ready to peak.
