Ryan Phelan has outlined his selections and suggested game plan for tonight's 10-race card at Shepparton.
R1 – 5:32pm – Neatline Homes 4yo & Maiden Pace - 2190m
3 – Unit Forty One
4 – Japanese Miki
6 – Abraham
5 – Seychelles
R2 – 5:57pm – Barry Thorn Pace – 1690m
9 – Barwen Storm
4 – Cheeky Philtra
7- Beau Bronski
2 - Terroroan
R3 – 6:23pm – Cameron Maggs & Bronwyn Burns Pace – 2190m
5 – Mynameisruby

4 – Mop
R4 – 7:00pm – Shepparton Saddleword Pace – 1690m
7 – Arraps
3 – Shezabluechip
9 – Cresco Threepeat
8 – Roam
R5 – 7:30pm – Greg & Denise Muir Pace – 2190m
3 – Eye See Philtra
8 – Dashing
4 – Our Ultimate Gracy
9 – Sunset Stride
Eye See Philtra has really been putting it all together for trainer Mick Blackmore this preparation, winning 4 from 13 this season. His main danger is smart 3yo Dashing who first up off a tricky draw for the new stable and may need luck. James Herbertson is the most in-form driver in the country, should fire Eye See Philtra to the lead and hopefully pinch it.
BACK: 3 Eye See Philtra – 2 Units (win)
R6 – 8:00pm – George & Julie Szwec Pace – 1690m
8 – Sassiness
3 – Starzzz Destiny
4 – Credulous
7 – Azor Ahai
Sassiness has really come of age this campaign and her last start 2nd at Melton behind the smart Tilly Jane looks a great formalise for this. I'm respecting my 2nd and 3rd picks from the draws, which is why I'm not chips-in.
BACK: 8 Sassiness – 2 Units (win)
R7 – 8:30pm – Your Sold Real Estate 0-2 LTW Pace – 2190m
8 – Scheming
3 – She Haunts Em
4 – Watch It Happen
7 – Out Of Eden
Scheming strikes her most suitable race in a long time here. There looks to be a good amount of speed off the front row for her to come with one run over the top of them.
BACK: 8 Scheming – 2 Units (win)
R8 – 9:00pm – Avenel Equine Hospital Trot – 2190m
4 – Montana Muscle
5 – Midnight Avenger
1 – Playa Del Carmen
6 - Ivar
We tipped Montana Muscle here last week and he looked set for victory until he galloped in the straight. This doesn't look any harder so sticking with him.
BACK: 4 Montana Muscle – 1 Unit (win)
R9 – 9:30pm – Happy Birthday Sue Scouler 2yo Maiden Pace – 1690m
3 – Calexico
1 – Beach Delight
2 – Bringusjoy
6 – Ultimate Safari
The Laura Wilson stable looks to have two smart ones making their debut to end the night. Calexico found the line very strongly in a solid last quarter when 2nd in his trial.
BACK: 2 Calexico – 2 Units (win)
R10 – 10:02pm – Cottrells Electrical 2yo Maiden Pace – 1690m
2 – Alot Like Pendles
1 – My Little Bo
6 – Spirit Of Sahara
5 – Exclusive Hustler
Alot Like Pendles looked impressive in a trial here on August 1st winning by a comfortable margin. Was driven aggressively there which signals intent for its debut.
BACK: 2 A lot Like Pendles – 1 Unit (win)
