Race 1 — Shepparton Club Mdn Plate 1100m · jumps Tue 29 Sept, 1:30 pm AEST

Race preview

Welcome to Tatura for the Shepparton Club Mdn Plate over the 1100m trip on a good four surface under fine skies. Punters looking at the early win market have lined up The Shyster at the head of affairs, closely followed by Rentier, Firm'N'High, and Court Jester rounding out the initial fancies in what shapes as a fascinating three-year-old maiden puzzle.

The shorter-priced runners bring some intriguing form lines to the table. Firm'N'High is second-up here after going home tamely at Geelong following a spell, though she draws to do no work from barrier three and should strip fitter with Jackson Radley in the saddle for the Moody and Coleman stable. Court Jester for trainer Craig Weeding is another drawing interest after running on well when finishing fourth on debut at Echuca over 1009m, suggesting the step up in trip might suit.

Further down the market, debutants like The Shyster catch the eye with a neat profile having won his last three jumpouts after costing seventeen thousand five hundred dollars out of a stakes-winning Queensland mare, while Rentier is first out of the blocks for L Smith with Linda Meech taking the steering wheel following a runner-up effort in three jumpouts. Expect a competitive yarn as this field sorts out the early speed.

AAP

Had no answers when the pressure went on at Wodonga debut when crunched in betting 15 Sep. Took benefit from that. Dropping back to 1100m here. Certainly open to improvement.

ILB

Odds of $2.80 and folded up in the straight when 7th last time at Wodonga. Looking for an improved run and having second career run. Should race on the speed. Good chance and definitely has claims.

Was a shade disappointing on his debut when seventh (9-5) at Wodonga seeming green; could improve although needs to.

RSIS

At 9/5 weakened under pressure when 7th last start at Wodonga. Looking past the last run and having second career run. Should come to hand quickly. Expect a forward showing.

Resuming for second prep (26-weeks). Upside off spell. Looks more a place prospect.

ILB

Back from a 26 week break. Odds of $17.00 and weakened under pressure when 5th last run at Cranbourne. Has been gelded. Betting is the best guide.

Winless in three starts but has shown promise with third his top showing; respectable effort in defeat (beaten just over 2l) at Cranbourne over 5f (maiden) six months ago; returning from a layoff here.

RSIS

First run back from a break of 26 weeks. Odds of 16/1 and was well beaten when 5th last run at Cranbourne. Has been gelded leading up to this. Can't leave out of your calculations.

Game effort this track in choppy conditions first run back. Better for the outing. Sound latest offering and a chance with repeat.

ILB

Was strong late when 3rd beaten by 3/4L last run at this venue. Strong prospects.

Beaten three-quarters of a length here over 5f (maiden) 22 days ago.

RSIS

Ran on when 3rd beaten by 3/4L last run at this track. Expecting a strong showing.

Wasn't all that far from the action on debut at Echuca 19 Sep. Benefits from the experience. Sound claims.

ILB

Odds of $9.00 and made up ground when 4th last time at Echuca and was a debutant last start. Has good closing speed. Watch betting.

Not beaten too far (1½l) on his debut in Echuca maiden over 5f at 8-1 ten days ago; could improve from first run although a leap forward required to win this.

RSIS

Started at 8/1 and edged past some when finishing 4th last run at Echuca and fitter for debut run. Expected to be flashing home. Has some claims.

Let-up (50-days). Well beaten in two runs to date. Has a tricky draw. Others with stronger claims.

ILB

Freshened up. Below expectations when 8th last start at Pakenham Synthetic. Does take a while to get into stride.

First-time blinkers had no impact at Pakenham last month when beaten a long way upped to 6f; others more likely.

RSIS

Back from a let up. Only fair when 8th last start at Pakenham Synthetic. Will be giving the leaders a big start.

Left a decent impression on debut at Hamilton when in the market 14 Sep. Wiser for it. Coming back in distance. Can play a role with even breaks.

ILB

Good run when finishing 2nd beaten by 1 1/4L last time at Hamilton and was a debutant last start.

RSIS

Produced an eye catching run when 2nd beaten by 1 1/4L last time at Hamilton and fitter for debut run.

Dam won a Geelong maiden. First foal to face the starter. Runner-up in three jumpouts. Linda Meech rides. Bears close watching.

ILB

Gold Standard 3yo having first race appearance for trainer Lindsey Smith. Tongue tie go on for the first time. Keep your eye on the market.

First racecourse start; could be hard to beat as some good aspects to his profile and the current trainer form is another tick.

RSIS

Lindsey Smith 3yo first starter by Gold Standard. Tongue strap go on for the first time. Betting is the best guide.

Cost $17,500. First foal to race of a stakes-winning Qld mare. Won his last three jumpouts. Betting.

Andrew Dale trained 3yo first starter by Profiteer. Watch early betting.

Gelded already; first start under rules for this son of Profiteer; hard to dismiss as some good aspects to his profile.

RSIS

First race appearance 3yo by Profiteer for Andrew Dale.

Unremarkable debut performance at Kilmore when in the market 13 Sep but better for run and should have more to offer.

ILB

Started at $2.40 and lost ground in the run home when 8th last start at Kilmore but was on debut last time.

Left punters disappointed on his debut (7-5) two weeks ago at Kilmore running over this distance; open to improvement; entitled to have come on for that run.

RSIS

Odds of 7/5 and tailed off to finish 8th last run at Kilmore but having second race start.

Tracked into the race from a forward position but was no match when it counted at Mornington second-up. Awkwardly drawn. Hope for exotics only.

Couldn't find the line when 4th last time at Mornington.

Went home tamely at Geelong off spell at $19. Will be fitter second-up. Draws to do no work. Sound claims.

ILB

At $19.00 didn't find the line when 9th last run at Geelong. Should improve. Has shown early pace in races to date. Solid chance.

Four-race maiden though does have a third place to her name; found life tough when 5½l back in ninth (Geelong) 18 days ago; makes limited appeal.

RSIS

Started 18/1 and couldn't stay in touch when 9th last run at Geelong. Expecting improvement here. Will be positive in the run early. One of the punters top hopes at a very generous price.

Fresh. Failed to stamp herself on the race at Echuca debut 30 Aug. Has a fair bit to find.

ILB

Started at $26.00 and tailed off to finish 8th last start at Echuca but having second race start. Gets a favourable draw. Looks optimistic.

Beaten 11l on her debut at Echuca at 25-1 last month; should be more streetwise; should get involved.

RSIS

Started 25/1 and couldn't maintain the pace when 8th last time at Echuca but was on debut last time. Drawn well.

Let-up (53-days). Disappointing debut performance at Seymour 7 Aug. Experience a positive. Room to improve.

ILB

Let up. Odds of $6.00 and weakened to finish 11th last run at Seymour but having second career run. Interesting gear change of tongue tie off first time. Has strong claims.

Was towards the rear of 14 on his debut over 6f at Seymour at 5-1 last month; improvement could be in the offing; should benefit for having a run under his belt.

RSIS

Let up. Started 5/1 and folded up in the straight when 11th last time at Seymour but having second career run. Interesting gear change of tongue strap off first time. Strong claims.

Odds correct as at Tue 29 Sept, 1:30 pm AEST. Odds can change.
