Shepparton Race 6 - The Bottle O Warehouse Shepparton Pace
ANDRETTI (3) has joined the Alex Ashwood stable since tackling the Nutrien Classic Sales Final at Listed level last start but had good form in NZ earlier in his career. If he performs to that level he can beat these from the good draw. LINE DANCE (1) led from a few spots wider and went on to score last time out by 4 metres at Bendigo. Has the speed to to give a big sight again from the ace draw. INTERESTINME (2) draws to advantage and is going well at this venue with a win and a placing in his last two outings. DEMBE (4) drew wide last start but came from this barrier for a fresh win at this circuit and distance prior.

Last start good run despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr3) over 1690m at this track beaten 2.25 m by Hello Possums (2:04.50) on June 2 at $6. Two runs back posted a big 9 m win after showing early speed, (Fr1) at this track (2:45.20) beating Wicked One in on May 12 at $5 at the bell was leading 4.11. Draws well and is likely to be prominent.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 10th (Fr5) over 2270m after showing early speed at Riverina Paceway, beaten 45 m by Hollywood Strip (2:39.40) in 3yo LR CG on May 30 at $51. The run prior 6th (Fr3) over 2270m after showing early pace at Riverina Paceway, at the bell was 3rd-8.1 beaten 15 m by Hollywood Strip (2:42.70) in 3yo CG on May 22 at $11. Draws well and his best NZ efforts would measure up strongly.

Failed to impress last start; was well back in the run when 8th (Fr7) over 1740m at Riverina Paceway, beaten 7 m by Our Rocky (2:04.90) on May 29 at $4.80. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 1.2 m after showing early speed, (Fr4) at this track (2:41.40) beating Hellovatime in on May 19 at $3.30 at the bell was leading 2.17. Worth another chance from a much better draw.

Second up after running 10th (Sr4) over 1650m at Bendigo was 12th-26.39 at the bell, beaten 14 m by Line Dance (1:56.30) on May 27 at $41. Must do a lot more.
