Shepparton Race 5 - Neatline Pace
VERY TEMPTING (8) went back last start then worked home well from a long way out to finish just a nose from the winner in second at Bendigo over 1650m, that run following his ninth there two runs back. Shouldn't spend a penny from this draw and the sprint lane may come in handy. Won't find this any harder and he can take this out. STANDANDELIVER (2) was out of the money two runs ago then broke after suffering interference and finished eighth last start over 1650m at Bendigo, arriving 40 metres behind the winner. A nice draw on the front line this time should ensure a cosy run. Big chance with any luck in this similar assignment. MIKI MARK (6) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing third at Kilmore over 2180m. FAKE CULLECTION (5) showed pleasing improvement last time out when third over 1650m at Bendigo. In the mix.

Didn't do much last start, was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr3) over 2100m at Charlton, at the bell was 6th-9.3 beaten 17 m by Dancebytheseaside (2:39.80) on June 15 at $6.50. Before that 8th (Fr1) over 1690m at this track, at the bell was 6th-8.19 beaten 15 m by Shezabluechip (2:05.90) on June 9 at $23. This looks tough.

Last start 6th (Fr1) over 1609m after showing early speed at Charlton, at the bell was leading 1.8 beaten 6 m by The Regulator (1:58.50) on June 15 at $10.

Eight-year-old gelding showed improvement last time. 3rd (Fr1) over 2100m at Charlton, at the bell was 4th-4.9 beaten 8 m by Dancebytheseaside (2:39.80) on June 15 at $6. The race before was not as impressive when beaten by 7 m finishing fourth after being driven well back, behind Shezabluechip at this track over 1690m on June 9 at $15. Not as keen on his chances in this field.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing fifth behind Shezabluechip at this track over 1690m on June 9 at $3. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Onecrowdedhour at Bendigo over 1650m on June 17 at $11. Shapes as one to consider.
