Shepparton Race 11

Shepparton To The Meadows Ht2

Prize Money: $2,925

NO IRON TEAM (2) was strongly fancied on the back of a win two starts ago but finished fourth last time (23.16) at Warragul. Can make amends. TEST DRIVE (1) missed the frame last time when fifth (24.03) at Bendigo in a Restricted WIN H but not beaten far the start prior. Well placed here and can atone this time. ALFREDO (6) was well in the market last time but only managed seventh (24.47), beaten 6 lengths. Finished second the start before. One of the better chances. POINT MAN (4) is building a sequence of top-three results and can add to the tally.

Missed the frame last start when fifth and beaten 4 lengths at Bendigo. Form solid prior to that including a win at Bendigo three back. Better than last run and looks set to run well.

Last start finished 4th over 400m at Warragul beaten 6 lengths (23.16) behind Why Not Olivia in a Grade 5 on February 17. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.

Was out of the placings last time at Bendigo but prior to that had been racing consistently, notching three minors in a row. Has a wide draw to navigate and needs to bounce back.

Was out of placings last time (29.22) at Bendigo in a Bottom Up - Grade 5, finishing sixth and beaten 11 lengths. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Looks a place chance at best.
