Shepparton Race 13

Prize Money: $2,925

CHEEKY ALESSIA (2) looks close to another win after finishing second from Box 6 last time (22.38) at this track. Has a solid record from this box including two wins and a minor placing. One of the leading chances. FANCY FAYE (1) has been a little hard to follow, missing the frame last time but was a Grade 5 winner three starts ago and has drawn 1 where she has two wins. Rates a winning chance on best. FISHY BUSINESS (7) scored (16.75) last time out over 278m at Launceston ten weeks ago. Form at the trip sound including two wins. This looks easier and expected to run well. HARTLAND BUDDY (6) was in the money last start from this box - poses a threat again.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 22.38 over 390m at this track. Has run slick time here with a 22.21 PB at the distance. Go close.

Hit the frame latest (22.42) when third at this track in a Grade 5. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Will need some luck to feature.

Strong performance to post a big 5 lengths win at this track over 390m (22.33) beating Sea Breezy in Grade 5 on June 25. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
