Welcome to Tatura for the Shepparton Club Mdn Plate over 1100m on a good4 track under fine skies. The race has already jumped at 1:30 pm AEST, so let's look at how the market shook out. The win market order has The Shyster leading the betting lines, closely followed by Rentier, Firm'N'High, and Court Jester rounding out the top four in early betting discussions.
Looking at the form behind those shorter prices, The Shyster caught plenty of attention after costing $17,500 and winning his last three jumpouts for Andrew Dale with Logan Mcneil steering. Rentier sits right next in the market, with Linda Meech taking the mount for L Smith on a runner whose dam won a Geelong maiden and who placed second in three jumpouts. Firm'N'High brings race experience to the table for P G Moody and Katherine Coleman, drawing barrier 3 to do no work second-up after a run at Geelong.
Further down the order, Court Jester rates a real chance for Craig Weeding and Jett Stanley after running on well when finishing fourth on debut at Echuca over 1009m. Alpha Mensae and Around The Marx both map as early leaders from their respective barriers, while Bordeaux drops back to a suitable class knowing this track well. The numbers say this was a tricky maiden where the debutants and triallers drew plenty of market respect.
