Shepparton Race 8 - Saddleworld Shepparton Trot
LITTLE MISS VALLEY (7) was without a win before displayed pleasing improvement last start to score by 22 metres over 2190m at this track six weeks ago. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Meets a comparable field and she can salute once again. SHINELIKETHESUN (3) finished second last start, beaten 8 metres, in a nice return to form at this track over 2190m. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Meets a comparable field so she can salute this time around. VICTREE VIC (8) is in line for another win at his third run back from a break after scoring over 1690m at Kilmore three-and-a-half weeks ago. Stick with him. FARSTAR (6) finished fourth two runs ago then broke and finished a distant eighth over 2190m at this track at the latest appearance. Live chance in a similar assignment.

Didn't do much last start, broke in score up and was out of position at the start 7th (Fr1) over 2190m after showing early pace at this track beaten 60 m by Aldebaran Zane (2:45.90) on May 26 at $61. Before that was driven from back in the field when 4th (Fr5) over 2150m at Bendigo beaten 7 m by Kalarney Prince (2:46.60) on May 20 at $9. Not keen.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Kalarney Prince at Bendigo over 2150m on May 20 at $6.50. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after being driven well back, behind Aldebaran Zane at this track over 2190m on May 26 at $101. Capable of testing this line-up.
