Reigning Inter Dominion champion I Cast No Shadow heads a formidable three-pronged assault on the Group 2 Neatline Homes Shepparton Gold Cup for the Jason Grimson stable.
I Cast No Shadow, who will be facing the starter for the first time since providing Grimson with his second consecutive ID Grand Final victory at Melton a month ago, has been installed a $1.90 favorite after drawing barrier two.
Stablemates Sicario and Majestic Cruiser haven’t fared nearly as well behind the mobile barrier.
Sicario, who finished a gallant runner-up behind Major Meister in last week’s Bendigo Pacing Cup, has been allocated an outside front row alley, while New Zealand Cup second place-getter Majestic Cruiser has to contend with the extreme draw on the second row.
One trainer looking to put a halt to the Grimson juggernaut is Avenel horseman David Aiken.
