Shepparton Race 14

Prize Money: $2,925

DIM SIM RIXI (1) held her own to the line last start and filled a minor placing, beaten only 2 lengths (17.06) behind Dunsmore Flyer at Healesville. Overdue and is among the main hopes. POINT THE FINGER (7) has a fair record and proved too strong last time to win by 1.75 lengths at this track in a handy 22.61 beating DIM SIM RIXI. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings two times from four starts. Can go close again if runs up to latest figure. HARTLAND DUKE (3) started big odds last time where he hit the ground running and was never headed, leading throughout to win by 3 lengths over 390, at Ballarat (22.66). Expected to feature again. TAT BUDDY (2) is a last start winner worth following up.

Could only manage sixth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when third (23.27) over 390m at this track. Boxed awkwardly and needs to find best form to feature.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 390m in 22.61 last start, beating Dim Sim Rixi. In-form and measures right up. Hard to beat.
