Ryan Phelan has outlined his selections and suggested game plan for tonight's 8-race card at Shepparton.

R1 – 5:34pm – Geoff & Lorraine Barnes Pace - 2190m

11 – Eye See Philtra

5 – Shallow Beach

4 – Out Of Eden

10 – Good Day

Well, it seems I tip Eye See Philtra every time he goes around and I’m not jumping off now! He had no luck at all from the draw last week and was flashing late. Will need luck again from this wider draw but I think the race sets up better.

BACK: 8 Eye See Philtra – 3 Units (win)


R2 – 6:00pm – Rhonda Hubbard Happy 70th Pace – 1690m 

8 – High Flux

1 – Protagonist

6 – Art On Fire

5 – Mahindi


R3 – 6:25pm – Thank You And Farewell Sue Carroll 4yo & Older Maiden Trot – 2190m 

9 – Spanish Rizardo

7 – Oprah Double You

10 – Zingara Lass

3 – Glengarry Red


R4 – 7:00pm – Darren Carroll Pace – 1690m 

7 – Final Bow

4 – Hello Sweetheart

2 – Shezabluechip

8 – Harley Blue

No favours for Final Bow here drawn the car park, but there looks to be good speed inside her which may suit. She’s beaten most of these in recent starts, albeit from better draws. James Herbertson is the go-to driver at Shepparton, and I’ll trust him to get it right.

BACK: Final Bow – 2 Units (win)


R5 – 7:30pm – Charlene Gusman Pace – 2190m 

10 – Pete Mitchell

2 – Twilight Beach

8 – Arraps

9 – Better Saint

Pete Mitchell is a horse in form, and simply has better form than most of these. I can’t see the last quarter being overly fast here and Herbie has options to sit parked or come with one run depending on tempo.

BACK: 10 Pete Mitchell – 3 Units (win)


R6 – 8:00pm – Ian Chambers Pace – 1690m 

4 – Icanmotor

9 – Tiger Of Old

3 – Fake Cullection 

11 – Pinnacle Hope

Icanmotor doesn’t win out of turn but I’m hoping Chris Alford can get hime some nice prominent cover with speed inside and out.

BACK: 4 Icanmotor – 2 Units (win)


R7 – 8:30pm – St Annes College Kialla Trot – 1690m 

7 – Ess Kay Hollywood

9 – Lots Of Change

4 – Kalarney Prince

3 – Christmas Babe 


R8 – 9:00pm – Neatline Homes 4yo & Older Maiden Pace – 1690m 

1 – Unit Forty One

8 – Sweet Face

3 – Alamo

6 – Adora Joh
