Shepparton Race 4

Pacing For Pink Sunday 4Th May Pace

Stake: $4,400

IAMAWINGATE (6) made it two wins from his last five appearances a week ago, getting home by 3.5 metres over 1690m at this track. Won't find this any harder and he can make it two on the trot. OUR MYSTERY BET (2) scored at this circuit three runs ago. Returned to something like that form last time out when second over 1690m here, beaten 5 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw. Meets a comparable field and he can play a big role. KIMCANDO (8) is on the radar after her last-start sixth over 1609m at Geelong two-and-a-half weeks ago. Top-three conveyance. VIEW THE ART (9) resumes and looks ready to put her best foot forward on the back of three trials. Include while fresh.

Improved last start with a game effort when 2nd (Fr1) over 1690m at this track, at the bell was 6th-12.3m on the pegs beaten 5 m by Alta Bayamo (2:03.70) in NR 37 to 42 on April 8 at $3.50. Has a nice draw and expected to figure prominently again.

Showed a glimmer of form last start 3rd (Sr2) over 1690m at this track, at the bell was 7th-13.2m 2WWC beaten 5.5 m by Alta Bayamo (2:03.70) in NR 37 to 42 on April 8 at $41. But The start before was well beaten into tenth after showing early speed, behind Our Mystery Bet at this track over 1690m in a NR up to 42 on March 11 at $31. Facing a tougher assignment this time around.

Didn't do much last start, 6th (Fr2) over 1690m after showing early speed at this track was 4th-8.3m on the pegs at the bell, beaten 13 m by Alta Bayamo (2:03.70) in NR 37 to 42 on April 8 at $7.50. Before that 6th (Fr1) over 1690m after showing early speed at Maryborough, beaten 30 m by I Of The Hurrikane (2:03.40) in NR up to 49 M on March 31 at $26. This looks far too tough.

Resumes. At the latest first-up run broke in score up and was out of position at the start 9th (Sr3) over 1690m at this track beaten 25 m by Talknplay (2:03.50) in 4yo+ MAIDEN on August 27 at $51. This run will do him the world of good.
