Shepparton Race 6

Saddleworld Shepparton Trot

Prize Money: $17,500

RAPID RETURN (6) is back from a let-up but her form is strong. Placed in her last two outings at Melton including a second at Listed level and was an upset winner of the G1 Vicbred Super Series 4M Final earlier in the campaign. Strong claims. KINGS GUARD (5) is hard to knock off back-to-back wins. Raced three wide without cover from a back row draw when scoring by 7m two back at Bendigo then saluted easily again last time at Cobram. He is two from two at this venue and distance. Big chance to land the hat trick. ALDEBARAN ACRUX (4) hasn't been too far away of late including a respectable third at her most recent appearance at Bendigo. HEPHAESTUS PHOENIX (8) draws for a trail and has claims off his Melton win three back.

Solid performance when beaten by 2.75 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Lovemeto at Melton over 2240m in a 4yo LR No NR on November 9 at $7.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Aldebaran Vera at Melton over 1720m in a No NR M on November 23 at $5. In fine form. Major player.

Has been mixing her form of late, most recently was driven from back in the field when 4th (Fr7) over 1650m at Bendigo beaten 6 m by Nephew Of Sonoko (1:58.20) in NR 76 to 89 on January 4 at $26. Before that broke in score up and was out of position at the start 6th (Fr7) over 2080m at Cranbourne, beaten 30 m by Aroha Koe (2:32.90) in No NR on December 28 at $61. Might need easier.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Shes Ruby Roo at Melton over 1720m in a No NR M on December 21 at $61. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Kings Guard at Cobram over 2678m in a No NR on January 6 at $7.50. Solid prospects.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield
