Shepparton Race 13

Prize Money: $2,925

I'M TOO MESSY (5) turned in a modest effort most recently when fifth at Healesville over 300m behind Magic Western (17.09) in a Grade 5. Key runner on her best form. HARD COMPASS (1) broke a string of placings finishing in the money two on end before a last start sixth (24.71) at Bendigo. Solid record at the distance winning five races. Worth following up. BLACK XENA (2) ran the fastest on the card last time scoring by 3 lengths (22.19) at Ballarat. Looks suited and has winning claims again. GOOD ODDS ROCKY (8) has definite claims at his first try at this circuit.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 6th in a Grade 5 on September 25 over 425m at Bendigo behind Southern Style beaten 8 lengths (24.71). Was in the money two on end before missing the frame last time. Worth another try.
