Shepparton Race 6 - Saddleworld Shepparton Trot
JILLIBY TOPGUN (6) scored at his most recent outing by 2 metres in a nice return to form at this track over 2190m. Primary contender in this comparable race. MAJESTIC CHARMA (7) broke last start and finished a distant fifth over 2240m at Melton, following a solid third to commence this campaign. Beautifully placed and she should turn things around. VAN DOREN (5) is on the radar after his last-start fourth over 2190m at this circuit three weeks ago. Include in calculations. STARLIGHT RED (1) must be considered on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when third at Kilmore over 2180m.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Jilliby Topgun at this track over 2190m on June 2 at $9. Then a handy effort when third after a quick start, behind Sonnyboy at Kilmore over 2180m on June 18 at $9. Strong claims on what we have seen lately.

Returns after three-and-a-half months in the paddock. Finished off last preparation when beaten by 9 m finishing seventh behind Settle The Bill at this track over 1690m on March 17 at $8.50. Will be hard to beat despite the layoff.

Lines up again after a break of ten months. Well beaten at the end of her last preparation at this course and distance when ninth at very big odds behind Abbie. Has only trialled once and may need more time.

Won three starts back at this track over 1690m on May 26. Last start 6th (Fr6) over 2180m after showing early speed at Kilmore, beaten 22 m by Sonnyboy (2:49.30) on June 18 at $71. Better than recent form suggests; great chance to bounce back.

Gave plenty of ground last start when fourth behind Jilliby Topgun at this track over 2190m on June 2 at $3.30. Performed better the start before where he won by 4 m when driven back in the field, (Fr5) held up early, at this track (2:08.70) beating Starlight Red in on May 26 at $6.50 at the bell was 4th-7.88. Strong contender.

Last start won by 2 m as favourite when driven back in the field, (Fr5) held up early, at this track (2:48.10) beating Giggle Water in on June 2 at $1.70. Will be right in the thick of things.

Last start was well back in the run when 5th (Fr3) over 2240m at Melton beaten 40 m by Manda Kyvalley (2:49.00) in M on June 12 at $2.30. Before that, a solid effort when 3rd (Fr4) over 2180m at Kilmore, at the bell was 2nd-2.09 beaten 1.5 m by Paris Jamilla (2:46.80) on May 7 at $3.10. Great chance to atone.

Last start then managed to finish eighth over 1710m at Ballarat last time out. At his previous start 11th (Sr2) over 2180m at Kilmore well beaten by Jessicas Story (2:51.30) on June 4 at $8.50. Doesn't need to improve a great deal to take this out.
