Shepparton Race 3 - Hygain Pace
CO CAPTAIN (9) did not live up to market expectations at the first run back from a break last start when fifth, beaten 2.75 metres, over 2150m at Bendigo. The recent run not a true indication. Good enough to put himself right in the finish. THE GOLDEN HOOK (4) ran seventh last start at Melton over 2240m, beaten 45 metres. This easier and expected to run well. IM DUSTEE (5) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 6 metres at this track over 2190m. Top-three credentials. OWEN THE SAINTS (10) is the next elect off a last-start win by a head at Charlton over 1609m. Can go back-to-back.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr5) over 2240m at Melton, beaten 45 m by Apollostorm (2:41.10) on June 13 at $61. Before that, 4th (Sr1) over 1720m at Melton was 9th-12.64 at the bell, beaten 2.25 m by King Saint (2:03.80) on May 30 at $11. This looks a nice assignment so watch for a better run.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following the May 19 run. Last start posted a big 7 m win (Sr1) at this track (2:02.70) beating Thereshewas in M on May 26 at $8 at the bell was 5th-8.26. This race will be harder than that win. Maybe a place.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 1.75 m second behind Evileye at this track over 1690m last start. Before that was beaten 3.5 metres fourth at Riverina Paceway over 2270m same class on June 5. With further improvement can go one better.

Last start won by a head as favourite when driven back in the field, (Fr6) held up early, at Charlton (1:56.50) beating Hungry Hogarth in on June 15 at $3.40 at the bell was 4th-6.9. With even luck can win again.
