Shepparton Race 2 - Shrc Trivia 8th Sept Book Now Pace
THE IRISHMAN NZ (2) was responsible for a better performance last start when third over 1660m at Hamilton, beaten only 6 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of running another big race. BERYLS BOOTS (3) has had two runs this campaign and is yet to finish in the top three. Added to the sequence last time over 2190m at this track, finishing 40 metres away from the winner in fifth. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a major role. DREAMTIME NALA (8) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 2240m at Melton six days ago. Will find this assignment easier. ICANMOTOR (6) could only finish eighth over 1609m at Cranbourne most recently. Open to improvement and is in the mix for some minor money.

Didn't do much last start, 9th (Fr2) over 1690m at this track, beaten 22 m by Final Bow (2:05.10) on August 11 at $101. Before that surrendered the lead and finished 6th (Fr1) over 2190m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 40 m by Megawatts (2:45.30) on July 14 at $126. Will not find this easy. Draws the inside but it has been a long while between drinks so happy to overlook.

Two back was seventh behind Milola Rock at Maryborough over 2190m on August 3 at $41. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Elli Joh at Hamilton over 1660m on August 10 at $3. Drawn to advantage and expected to go well again.

Failed to impress last start; hung in on scoring up, was driven from back in the field when 10th (Fr7) over 1690m at this track beaten 23 m by Final Bow (2:05.10) on August 11 at $18. Showed ability the run before when she won by a neck when quickly away, (Fr1) at Swan Hill (2:49.50) beating Esperanza in on July 24 at $4.33 at the bell was leading 0.4. Better than last start and deserves another chance.
