Shepparton Race 6 - Willowood Farm Maiden Pace
PARINI (6) finished 18 metres from the winner in second at Bendigo over 2150m last start at his first career run. Will be better for that race day experience and rates a big chance in this comparable race. HELLOVASTORY (4) finished fourth first-up last time out when he broke in a 2180m event at Stawell two-and-a-half weeks ago. Won't find this any harder so he can return to form. STAY ALPHA (5) last appeared when sixth over 1790m at Mildura nine months ago. Look out for any positive market movement. GET SET JETT (1) is a three-year-old gelding by For A Reason from Frosty Star on debut. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Placed in a recent trial and is capable of taking this out.

Two back was sixth behind Pearl Of Philtra at Echuca over 1755m in a MAIDEN on April 5 at $26. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Dusty Philtra at Melton over 2240m in a 3yo MAIDEN on April 15 at $41. Sure to be thereabouts.

Resumed when beaten 17 m fourth behind Magellan at Stawell over 2180m in a MAIDEN on April 3. Will come on from that run and is a strong winning hope.

First up. At the last run he finished 6th (Sr4) over 1790m at Mildura, beaten 24 m by Jilliby Moon (2:15.20) in MAIDEN on August 1 at $4.80. Should be in the finish.

Four-year-old gelding facing the starter for the second time. At debut good run when 2nd (Fr2) over 2150m after showing early pace at Bendigo was 4th-12.02 at the bell, beaten 18 m by All Over It (2:35.70) in MAIDEN on April 8 at $2.90. Rates highly. Has ability and strips fitter.
