Ryan Phelan has done the form for tonight’s 8-race card from Shepparton
R1 – 5:50pm – Jam Packed Racetrack Bistro Pace – 2190m
12 – Budd Sidewinder
5 – Interpretation
1 – Big Rig Saint
7 – Direct Command
R2 – 6:24pm – Neatline Homes Pace – 1690m
8 – King Saint
10 – Ollies Medal
4 – City Rockstar
7 – Sir Sonny Maguire
King Saint looks set to benefit if there’s a genuine burn early, which seems likely with several looking to press forward under their usual racing pattern. If the map plays out, he’s the type who can unleash a sharp late burst off strong fractions — one to watch storming home with luck in transit.
BACK: 8 King Saint – 2 Units (win)
R3 – 7:00pm – Jarvis Delahet Contractors Trot – 2190m
2 – Settle The Bill
9 – Hurricane Katie
6 – Freight Shaker
8 – Amartey
Settle The Bill has produced two encouraging runs in tougher company suggesting she’s turning the corner back to her best. She’s trotting well enough to be driven positively over the middle trip and being back at her home track she represents solid each-way value.
BACK: 2 Settle The Bill – 1 Unit (win) 1 Unit (place)
R4 – 7:30pm – Kevin Hicks Real Estate SHRC New Sponsor 3yo Maiden Pace – 1690m
2 – Hitch To His Star
1 – Whenimready
3 – Eebeebee
8 – Julz Marie
Hitch To His Star finds the perfect race to break through for a maiden win. He has the gate speed to lead from the draw, his three runs to date have all been promising, and his narrow defeat two back reads well. A sharp trial since suggests his fitness and confidence are peaking.
BACK: 2 Hitch To His Star – 3 Units (win)
R5 – 8:00pm – Abbey & Abby SHRC Facebook Pace – 1690m
5 – Sharp Interest
9 – Tivoli
1 – Miss Joplin
8 – I’m Princess Nellie
Sharp Interest has been consistent but often cruelled by poor barriers. This time she draws to use her gate speed and roll forward over the sprint trip. She was only nailed late last start, and with Ryan Sanderson sticking, she gets every chance to go one better.
BACK: 5 Sharp Interest – 3 Units (win)
R6 – 8:27pm – Munro & Associates Conveyancing Pace – 2190m
