Bronte Nieuwenburg has outlined her selections and suggested game plan for Saturday's eight-race card at Shepparton, featuring the Neatline Homes Shepparton Gold Cup (Group 3).
R1 – 6.24pm – Cottrell Electrical Pace – 1690m
10 - Letsrockletsroll
2 - Mongiana
4 - Harryhoo
9 – Roarforroscoe
Letsrockletsroll was brilliant last start when storming home late to finish close behind Operative Line. He is getting closer to his best, and when saved for one run, he is very dangerous. If there is speed early, he will be the hardest to beat late.
BACK: 10 Letsrockletsroll – 3 Units (win)
R2 – 7.04pm – Hunter Rural Pace – 2190m
2 - Techys Watching
1 - Repelling
11 - Mighty Flying Art
10 - Ozzie Punta
R3 – 7.36pm – Elite Horse Transport 0-1 Mw Pace – 1690m
10 - Wattlebank Arnie
5 - Rudy Gee
8 - Ooh Ah Listah
2 - Bubby To Base
Wattlebank Arnie's recent sectional times have been consistently good. If there is speed early, he will be storming home late and looks to be great value in this event.
BACK: 10 Wattlebank Arnie – 2 Units (win)
R4 – 8.06pm – Alabar Pace – 1690m
3 - Skyfall Benchmark
7 - Anakin
5 - Shonny Lou Nz
6 - Elated
This race looks to suit Skyfall Benchmark quite well. Although he doesn’t have the best gate speed on the front line, I still think he will be able to find the fence. He is full of confidence and has a chance to win again here.
BACK: 3 Skyfall Benchmark – 2 Units (win)
R5 – 8.37pm – Neatline Homes Shepparton Gold Cup (Group 3) – 2690m
3 - Tact Mcleod
2 - Kanena Provlima
11- Miki Pins
13 - Cantfindabettorman
R6 – 9.04pm – Saddleworld Shepparton Trot – 2190m
6 - Rapid Return
5 - Kings Guard
9 - Berriesandcherries
7 - Illawong Stardust
Rapid Return is a class runner who has been phenomenal in recent months and seems to be getting much better with age. She looks set to continue progressing to the top level, and even from the barrier, she should be winning this.
BACK: 6 Rapid Return – 2 Units (win)
R7 – 9.30pm – Graham Head Memorial 3yo Pace – 1690m
2 - Fairplay
1 - Soho The Real Deal
3 - Ronnie The Hammer
4 - Calexico
R8 – 10.03pm – Your Sold Real Estate Trot – 1690m
3 - Kyvalleyhoneybunny
6 - Im Bobby
5 - Ikigai
7 - Thunda Struck
Kyvalleyhoneybunny's recent sectional times have been very strong, and she looks to be the underrated horse in this field. She has the gate speed and could find the fence. If she gets a good run, she is a winning chance.
BACK: 3 Kyvallyhoneybunny – 1 Unit (win)
