Ryan Phelan's tips,10-unit strategy and Quaddie for Tuesday night at Shepparton.

R1 – 6:12pm – Shepparton Training Complex Support Pony Trots 0-1 LTW Pace - 1690m

10 – Alabama Ice

2 – Eagle Major

3 – Hesaa Lister

5 – G B Brave

Alabama Ice is first up since July here as a lightly raced 6yo. His win back in May he beat a horse called The Iron Duke who has been very good since and, on that occasion, he ran good time. He’s had the benefit of two trials here and looked pretty good in his most recent. Will need speed on from the draw but look for him late.

BACK: 10 Alabama Ice – 2 Units (win)

R2 – 6:37pm – Alabar Bloodstock Pace – 1690m 

3 – Cresco Threepeat

6 – Angelshavtime

4 – Honest Harriette

1 – Our Cheeky Devil

R3 – 7:14pm – Hunter Rural 3yo & Older Maiden Trot – 2190m 

10 – Peggy Vale

4 – Promise Dream

3 – Sky Lindy

8 – Madge Egan

Peggy Vale was unruly at the start last week at her second career run, following a terrific debut when forced to sit parked and was narrowly beaten. I’m prepared to forgive her for that on what I’ve seen to date, and this doesn’t appear to be an overly strong race, despite being off the back row.

BACK: 10 Peggy Vale – 2 Units (win)

R4 – 7:4pm – Neatline Homes Pace – 2190m 

9 – Bet Sheza Lady

2 – John Vincent

11 – Animado

10 – Regal Rock

R5 – 8:22pm – Jam Packed Coffee & Donuts Pace – 2190m 

3 – Tophut Johny

7 – Tex Goes Bang

1 – Beryls Grin

8 – Blue Ocean

Tophut Johny has been consistent throughout most of this season, only managing the one victory, but has been runner up on ten occasions! I think the key here is the good front row draw plus the distance favours to potentially find the front. I think he can bookend the year with victories.

BACK: 3 Tophut Johny – 4 Units (win)

R6 – 8:56pm – Avenel Equine Hospital 3yo & Older Maiden Pace – 1690m 

9 – Rocknlena

7 – Bear Hunta

5 – Broadway Brenda

11 – Tap To Pay

Rocknlena is a first starter for trainer Brooke McPherson off four trials in preparation for this. Her most recent trial at Wagga she found the lead and did switch on and off throughout, but when asked to knuckle down, she did. I like the engagement of James Herbertson to light her up.

BACK: 9 Rocknlena – 2 Units (win)

R7 – 9:30pm – Saddleworld Shepparton Trot – 2190m 

8 – Dossier

3 – Abbie

1 – Settle The Bill

5 – Majestic Ga Ga

R8 – 10:04pm – (A.H) Pete Rathjen Memorial Pace (1st ht.) – 2190m 

3 – Katunga Express

4 – On The Hunt

1 – Nomorelying

7 – Can Feel The Fury

R9 – 10:38pm – Cottrells Electrical Trot – 1690m 

3 – Ox Knox

5 – You Got Me Good

7 – Lindy Grace
