Shepparton Race 4 - Vhrc / Benstud Standardbreds Pace
WICKED WIZARD (6) has yet to miss the top-three this time in, highlighted by an easy win two back at Wagga. Drew wide on the back row and worked when placed at Charlton last week. Race fit and has strong claims. SHAQ (9) came from this same barrier when winning easily as favourite at Maryborough last start. This is a little stronger but he is going well. AUSSIE JAY MAC NZ (3) broke last time but had kicked off his campaign with a win and a second at this venue. Draws well and deserves another chance. HELLOVATIME (5) will strip fitter and must be considered after he came from this barrier and finished runner-up when resuming at Echuca two weeks ago.

Last start broke and was well beaten into sixth behind Breathe Easy at Kilmore over 1690m in a NR 48 to 51 on March 12 at $2.15. Performed better the start before with a good run despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr4) over 1690m at this track, at the bell was 2nd-4.55 beaten 2.75 m by Soho Playgirl (2:02.50) in NR 50 to 55 on March 3 at $4.50. Draws well and with manners can atone.

Failed to impress last start; was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr6) over 1690m at this track beaten 15 m by Scherger That (2:01.80) in NR 50 to 55 on March 8 at $10. Showed ability the race before when he won by 8 m (Sr2) at Temora (1:59.10) beating Maggie Moth in 0-1 WIN on February 10 at $9 at the bell was leading 6.6. Can be there at the business end.

Having his second run back from a spell. Game effort when 2nd (Fr5) over 2160m at Echuca was 4th-5.1 at the bell, beaten 11 m by Inside Leg (2:39.50) in NR 49 to 54 on March 10 at $8. Fitter and should play a big role.

Last start was well beaten into third behind Heatseeker at Charlton over 2100m in a NR 50 to 55 on March 15 at $6. Performed better the start before where he posted a big 13 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr4) at Riverina Paceway (2:03.60) beating Chrissy Eve in NR up to 48 on February 27 at $1.70. Major player again.
