Shepparton Race 7 - Willowood Farm Pace
OH SWEET CREATURE (1) finished fourth last start, beaten 4 metres at Riverina Paceway over 1740m. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Finds a nice race and will take plenty of beating. SHARP INTEREST (7) had been in terrific form before making up plenty of ground to score at her latest appearance over 1740m at Riverina Paceway. This should be an easier assignment so she is set to continue her fine form. GUEST ARTIST NZ (2) is on the radar after his last-start fourth over 1690m at this track a week ago. Include from the favourable draw. WITH IN REASON (6) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 2190m at this circuit.

Returns from the paddock. At the latest first-up run 3rd (Sr2) over 2190m at this track beaten 3.5 m by Rainbowsend (2:40.90) in 3yo+ on October 26 2022 at $7. Has only trialled once and might need this pipe-opener.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr7) over 2200m at Ballarat was 7th-11.82 at the bell, beaten 11 m by Dance Affair (2:40.10) on June 11 at $41. Two runs back 4th (Sr1) over 1740m at Riverina Paceway beaten 7 m by Im Alrite (2:03.70) on June 5 at $9. Not keen on his chances in this line-up.

Last start 7th (Sr3) over 1720m at Melton, beaten 30 m by Miss Ari (2:00.70) on June 20 at $151. Before that, was well back in the run when 5th (Fr6) over 2210m after racing wide at Warragul was 6th-11.6 at the bell, beaten 18 m by Highlandhartbreaka (2:43.60) on June 8 at $9. Certainly up to this and expected to go very well.

Last start was well back in the run when 5th (Fr5) over 2190m at this track beaten 5 m by Herakles (2:43.90) on June 2 at $4.40. At the run before 5th (Sr2) over 1720m at Melton, at the bell was 4th-5.64 beaten 8 m by Isolation (2:02.00) on April 15 at $10. Deserves another chance.
