RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Super start to Shepparton Pacing Cup night with a big field of good pacers over the flying 1690m trip. I’m a member of the GOLDEN TRIBE (12) fan club and keen to be with him here despite the wide back row gate. He has enjoyed a cracking campaign, which saw him progress all the way through to competitive performances in the Group 1 Victoria Derby Final and Group 2 Vicbred Super Series Final. He’s tuned up for this with a Terang trial win and he’s just a genuinely good horse. This won’t be easy, though. THE BRIDE (3) was brilliant back in the care of Alex Ashwood last time and draws to press forward for the front. Very hard to beat if she gets the top. EMILY VINCENT (2) also has early speed and is racing strongly, while HES NO ROMEO (9) is running really well from front row draws of late and just needs to replicate that form to be a factor here. BACK: GOLDEN TRIBE (12) – 2 units (win)
