Ryan Phelan breaks down the form for Tuesday's Shepparton meeting and shares his betting strategy and quaddies. OVERVIEW: MAJOR ORION (5) has been good in his runs for the Douglas stable, performing well from tricky draws and set-ups. He attempted to lead here last week unsuccessfully and sat parked thereafter in quick time for this grade. The map looks more favourable to cross to the pegs this time and find the top, and from there he’ll take plenty of catching.  ELIZAJANE (7) has been racing well this season and, despite the wide draw, is likely to press forward over the short…

Ryan Phelan breaks down the form for Tuesday's Shepparton meeting and shares his betting strategy and quaddies. OVERVIEW: MISTER JIMARINGLE (1) ticks a few boxes to bounce back to winning form here. He strikes well over this distance and has a decent strike rate at this track, but his winning chances improve dramatically when he’s able to race on speed and dictate. Herbertson will no doubt use the draw to his advantage, with the map not working out last time when he was untested to the line. He finds a suitable grade compared with what he’s been opposed to and looks hard to beat.  ROM BARO (10) is…

Ryan Phelan breaks down the form for Tuesday's Shepparton meeting and shares his betting strategy and quaddies. OVERVIEW: ASSIGNED (2) comes here off a strong win at Kilmore where he was able to lead all the way comfortably after getting control and dashing home. He had a flat tyre prior to that and three back here was favourite and was a little plain, to be fair, from the same draw. The map is favourable for him again to roll forward over the short trip and take some catching.  OWEN THE SAINTS (5) has been racing in terrific form of late, winning 2 from 4,…

Ryan Phelan breaks down the form for Tuesday’s Shepparton meeting and shares his betting strategy and quaddies. Race 1 OVERVIEW: MICHEN ROY (4) returns to the front row after three challenging draws off the back, one of which he was able to overcome to win at this track two starts back, albeit in easier company. He copped a check last start at Melton when getting to the line fairly in a much tougher race. He will appreciate the middle trip and the opportunity to roll forward and use his strength.  MOMENTUM SHIFT (3) can be a sharp improver on his numerical form, drawn well…

Ryan Phelan breaks down the form for Tuesday’s Shepparton meeting and shares his betting strategy and quaddies. Race 1 OVERVIEW: TARA VICTORY (11) drops significantly back in grade from what she’s been facing at Melton in her seven runs this preparation. She won’t have the opportunity to use her gate speed from this draw, but based on her peak times, she’s significantly quicker than the majority of these. Earlier this season she won three from five when racing in similar grade, so if the tempo is suitable, she will be very strong late.  IM WESLEY (10) is racing in career-best form this season, missing a place only four times in 16 starts.…

Ryan Phelan breaks down the form for Tuesday’s Shepparton meeting and shares his betting strategy and quaddies. Race 1 OVERVIEW: AMERICAN MICHI (11) has displayed talent over his lightly raced career, winning on debut at Melton when coming from back in the field and proving too strong. He resumed in a high-quality form race and was very strong to the line last time after missing the start and making up good ground. If he brings his manners, this field looks suitable and, with the draw, the extra distance is in his favour.  SASSY GABBY (2) was well supported first-up where she led, handed up and seemed to have…
