Ryan Phelan has done the form for tonight's 8-race program at Shepparton.

R1 – 6:00pm – Alabar Pace - 1690m

3 – Aliza Hill

2 – Elysian Palace

4 – Noble Julia

9 – Wingate Guy

Aliza Hill seems to get me most starts, but I really gravitate to her when she draws well over the mile. I expect James Herbertson to fire her out and look for the lead and from there prove hard to run down.

BACK: 3 Aliza Hill – 3 Units (win)


R2 – 6:25pm – Your Sold Real Estate Trot – 1690m 

1 – Dhoni Trouble

9 – Tiger Tee

4 – Glengarry Red

8 – Yankee Lover

Dhoni Trouble couldn’t have been more impressive in winning first up at Maryborough on the back of a strong trial. He’s a big bold striding trotter and I’m hoping Josh Duggan can fire him out to the lead from the pole and go all the way.

BACK: 1 Dhoni Trouble – 3 Units (win)


R3 – 7:00pm – Hunter Rural Trot – 2190m 

5 – Silver Spoon

2 – Ivar

3 – Abbie

8 – Melbreh


R4 – 7:34pm – Elite Horse Transport Pace – 1690m 

9 – Give Me A Minute

3 – Eye See Philtra

5 – Cheerstolou

7 – Dieing Art

Give Me A Minute and the Kevin Pizzuto stable have made the long journey from Menangle, NSW some 650km to race here tonight. The horse looks very well in here with the claim of Tasmyn Potter is very well graded coming off some solid performances in good time at Sydney’s headquarters. May be too slick with the right luck.

BACK: 9 Give Me A Minute – 2 Units (win)


R5 – 8:08pm – Saddleworld Shepparton Pace – 2190m 

7 – Jimmy Breeze

1 – Danger Play

5 – Lazena

2 – Madam Reactor


R6 – 8:42pm – Central Tyre Service 3yo & Older Maiden Pace – 1690m 

3 – Vincent Grange

1 – Valentine Queen

6 – Just Go Joe

8 – Courageous Caesar


R7 – 9:16pm – Cottrells Electrical Pace – 1690m 

8 - Icanmotor

4 – Four Starzzz Ruby

7 – Pinnacle Hope

6 – Jersey Sam

This looks a great race for Icanmotor. Solo of the backrow he shouldn’t position to far off the leading brigade. Having James Herbertson aboard is a massive plus, and can bounce back into the winner’s circle.  

BACK: 8 Icanmotor – 1 Unit (win)


R8 – 9:50pm – Avenel Equine Hospital Pace – 1690m 

4 – Mynameisruby

2 – Beryls Grin

3 – Shezabluechip

8 – Keepcrackingjokes

I was with Mynameisruby last week and I see no reason to jump off her now. She goes from the back row to the front row, drops back to the more suitable mile and even if she doesn’t cross Beryls Grin, should get cover from out wide. Deserves to break through.

BACK: 4 Mynameisruby – 1 Unit (win)
