Shepparton Race 5 - Hygain Pace
HES CHARLIES ANGEL (5) resumes after finishing tenth at his latest appearance at Penrith on May 7. Finds a suitable assignment and will take plenty of beating. KING SAINT (6) produced a better effort at his latest appearance when second over 1720m at Melton, beaten 3 metres after coming from a long way back. This looks a sterner test than last time but he is capable of another big performance. ROLLONART (4) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid third at Riverina Paceway over 2270m. Hard to find fault. MICHEN ROY (8) was out of the money two runs ago then broke and finished seventh last start over 2240m at Melton, coming home 6 metres from the winner. No harm in drawing here with the sprint lane to rely upon. This doesn't look as hard so he is capable of turning things around.

Resuming after six months off the scene. Finished off last campaign when eighth after being driven well back, after a quick start, behind Post Game at Globe Derby Park over 1800m on January 17 at $81. Capable of more than he has shown recently. Will make his presence felt while fresh.

Improved last start with a good run despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr6) over 1720m at Melton, at the bell was 5th-7.28 beaten 3 m by Nugget Rogers (2:02.80) on July 15 at $11. Will be right in the thick of things.

Won three starts back at Bendigo over 2150m on June 3. Last start broke in score up and was out of position at the start 7th (Sr3) over 2240m at Melton was 4th-7.08 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Major Blitz (2:41.30) on June 20 at $151. Rates highly and looks hard to beat on best figures.
