Shepparton Race 8 - Wager Wednesday Shrc Facebook Mdn Trot
MINNIE MIA (1) resumes after finishing seventh at her latest appearance at Melton on December 27. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a major role. PLEASURE TO HAVE (3) is a two-year-old colt from the Dennis Paton yard on debut. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Trial winner who looks above average and is capable of taking this out. SAMBEZIA (7) was a neck away in second at Kilmore over 2180m last start at his first run back from a spell. Must overcome a very wide draw but rates a big chance in this comparable race. ALIZA MEL (4) has been trialling well so is worth keeping safe fresh.

First up. At the last run she finished 7th (Fr1) over 1720m at Melton beaten 50 m by Ijustcantseeit (2:06.80) in 2yo on December 27 at $11. Very hard to beat while fresh.

Returns from the paddock. At the latest first-up run 7th (Fr1) over 2150m at Bendigo, beaten 35 m by Keayang Minnesota (2:43.30) in 3yo on August 6 at $21. Recent trials will help bring her on but a lack of race-fitness might work against.

Having his second run back from a spell. Solid effort when 2nd (Fr3) over 2180m at Kilmore was 3rd-6.47 at the bell, beaten a neck by Just Me And You (2:51.80) on July 8 at $2. Will improve with that run now under the belt. Fitter and sits high among the chances.
