Shepparton Race 13

Prize Money: $2,925

ROVANIEMI (6) is having his first start around this course. Comes here a last start placegetter at Ballarat in a Grade 5 (22.35). Expected to feature in the finish again. SHEIKH OF TWEAK (1) is mixing form and out of the placings last time but was a Grade 5 winner three starts ago and moves to Box 1 this time where he has performed well. Can find the frame this time. MARKET JET (7) had been racing in honest fashion recording two placings in a row before finishing fourth (22.51) at this track latest. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. VALLETTA MOON (2) is building a nice sequence of placings – must be respected.

Missed the frame last start when fourth and beaten 6 lengths at Warrnambool. Form solid prior to that including a win at Warrnambool three back. Looks a leading contender on best and expected to bounce back.

Racing well without winning, recording four minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when second (25.78) over 450m at Ballarat. Has ability and can run well.

Scored by 1.75 lengths last time (22.53) in a Grade 5 over 400m at Geelong. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Among the chances on best.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won by 2.25 lengths at The Meadows (30.43) beating Edie Monsoon in a Grade 5 on September 19. Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.

Last start finished fifth in a Grade 5 on October 16 over 350m at Traralgon behind Maximum Jasmine, beaten 5 lengths (20.33). Hard to recommend this time.

Placed last time (22.35) at Ballarat in a Grade 5, finishing third and beaten a long neck. Has two wins and four placings from eight starts from the draw. Makes strong appeal.

Drawn the outside box and could be suited with some luck. Goes ok at this track and distance but recent form not good enough, needs to find a bit more to test these.
