Shepparton Race 5 - Neatline Pace
LATHER ME UP (5) was a beaten favourite when she led and boxed on for fourth last start at Swan Hill. Draws wider but with her A-game she has the talent to take care of this field. OLLY ODD POTTS (2) led from wider and kept finding to salute at his latest appearance at Cranbourne, getting home by a head. No excuses from this advantageous draw so could strike again. BERYLS BOOTS (4) comes right into contention after adding to a string of wins and placings by scoring last start by a neck at this venue. HALF PRICE BRIDE (7) draws wide but was close to the placegetters last time.
