Shepparton Race 7

Hygain Shrc Sponsors Pace

Prize Money: $6,000

NUGGET ROGERS (6) made a nice return at his latest appearance a week-and-a-half ago, finishing 1.75 metres away in second over 2270m at Riverina Paceway. Finds a nice race and will be a major force once more. JACKSBOY (2) draws well and is a player after finishing third over 1690m here last time out. Can make an impact. GENERAL LINCOLN (3) showed improvement last time, beaten 4.3m at Kimora. Draws well and could be ready to peak. ART ON FIRE (4) has won a trial since the last outing. Worth including.

Two back was fifth after being driven well back, behind Shaq at Bendigo over 1650m in a NR up to 49 on March 5 at $21. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Nomorelying at this track over 1690m in a NR 50 to 55 on March 18 at $34. Progressing well. Forward performance expected.

Failed to impress last start; 10th (Sr1) over 2150m at Bendigo, beaten 30 m by Shaq (2:36.80) in NR 50 to 55 on April 2 at $41. Showed ability the outing before when she raced just off the speed and boxed on; posted a big 11 m win as favourite (Fr2) at Cobram (2:03.00) beating Bagley Boy in 3yo+ MAIDEN on March 24 at $1.75 at the bell was 3rd-6.4m 3WNC.
