Shepparton Race 3

Byers Electrical

Stake: $1,836

HILLBILLY TIGER (2) is a first starter from the Michael Hendy kennel by Aston Rupee out of Merlene. Drawn favourably and can capitalise. Expected to be well fancied and can make an immediate impact. SHADOW ROAD (1) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (24.85) last time in a Maiden at Bendigo. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Must be included in calculations. CALCEUS (7) profiles well for this but has a wide draw to content with at his first outing. Can kick off with a good run. SHAGGY BILLIE (4) is a Jordan Formosa-trained newcomer by Tommy Shelby out of Whodat Opal. No favours with the draw and will need to begin well. Can run a bold race on debut.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished 4th over 425m at Bendigo beaten 8 lengths (24.85) behind Thermal Knight in a Maiden on August 14. The form from last run stacks up well. Hard to beat.

Well bred first race starter by Aston Rupee from Merlene. She looks suitably boxed. Watch for a positive market push.

Moderately away on debut last start and was never in contention when sixth at Bendigo over 425m in 25.57. Should be around the mark.

Yet to break through after five starts, the most recent result a fourth (22.89) over 390m at Ballarat. Tough to make a case.

Comments

Was sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 4 length fourth (22.66) over 390m at this track. Capable of a good showing.
