DIM SIM RIXI (1) stalked the lead after a clean break from the tricky draw then burst clear to score (22.80) at Shepparton in a Grade 5 over 390m. Can make it two on the bounce. VINNY DEWALT (3) hit the ground running from a squeeze draw and prominent early but run ended and faded to finish 5th at this track in Grade 5 company. Expected to feature in the finish. MISS LADY BUG (7) was unfancied last time out but hit the ground running to lead all the way, scoring by 3.5 lengths (22.50) at this track in a Grade 5 over 390m. Winner at her latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Bold showing expected again. INSTANT ACTION (2) has top-three claims while fresh from a month break.

Has been in the minor money the last two runs, the latest finishing third (22.87) at this track. Drawn awkwardly. Will need plenty of luck.

Produced a good effort last start to finish fourth in a Grade 5 on May 4 over 390m at this track behind Bone Shaker, beaten 2.5 lengths (22.87). This looks too tough.

Comes off a (22.50) win last time, scoring by 3.5 lengths in a Grade 5 over 390m at this track. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Has ability and should be around the money.
