Shepparton Race 6

Only $25 Memberships Trot

Prize Money: $6,000

AUSSIE MUSCLE (5) filled a minor placing at Melton two runs ago before finishing third at his latest appearance over 1720m at Melton, beaten 6 metres. Tackles a similar assignment and he can find winning ways. LOTS OF CHANGE (9) was responsible for a far better performance last time out when he scored by 7 metres over 2190m at this track. It doesn't get any easier but he is good enough to take this out. JANSU (3) draws well and has a good strike rate at this circuit including a win three starts back. MAJESTIC CHARMA (8) has claims off a win three back.

Resumes. At the latest first-up run 2nd (Fr4) over 2150m after being wide early at Bendigo beaten 2.5 m by Kapai (2:41.20) in 4yo+ NR up to 47 on September 26 2023 at $4.20. Recent trials will help bring him on but a lack of race-fitness might work against.

Two back was well beaten into second behind Fremarkstilly at Melton over 1720m in a NR 50 to 59 on December 27 at $23. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Used To Be A Maid at Melton over 1720m in a NR 55 to 60 on January 3 at $4.40. Genuine threat.
