AU1 - Shepparton - Race 2

ROLLING BONUS (8) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 9 metres from the winner in second over 1 ⁵⁄₁₆m at Yarra Valley. Drawn to enjoy an economical run and might sweat on the sprint lane. Big chance based on recent form. ISLAND MELIA (3) resumes from a spell of five-and-a-half months after closing off last campaign in good form, the last run being a solid third over 1 ⁵⁄₁₆m at this track. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Sure to be right there at the finish. AMERICAN BOXER (1) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing third at Geelong over 1 ⁵⁄₁₆m. SAVOY BALLROOM (7) broke last start and finished 25 metres from the winner in sixth over 1 m at this track. That followed a fourth to commence her career. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Meets a similar line up so if she behaves a big run is likely.
