Shepparton Race 3 - Brian Firth Memorial Mdn Pace
ALTO CORAGGIO (9) worked to get to the lead and kept trying only to find one better on debut last start over 2190m at this track, beaten just a nose. Leading hope in a similar race. MAJOR FRIEND (8) had been racing in great heart then added to the list last start when she finished third over 1710m at Ballarat, beaten 4.5 metres. Drawn to enjoy an economical run and might sweat on the sprint lane but that latest effort is good enough to put her right in the finish. DEXTERS DONE (2) is close to a win after two successive placings, the latest a third over 1758m at Leeton. Great chance to break through. DONTTELLNANNA (10) broke last start but still managed to fill a minor placing over 1690m at Kilmore, finishing only 6 metres from the winner. Won't find this any harder and she will be competitive again.

Solid performance when beaten by 1.75 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Frith In Flight at Riverina Paceway over 1740m in a 2yo on August 25 at $7.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing third behind Yellow River at Leeton over 1758m in a 2yo on September 1 at $3.20. Has a low draw and will go well again.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing fourth after being driven well back, behind Picture Boy at this track over 2190m on August 25 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Sweetsugarcandyman at Ballarat over 1710m on September 2 at $3.90. Best performances should see her go well again.
