Shepparton Race 14

Stake: $1,775

TWILIGHT AXLE (3) was below best at his last start when 8th at this track following a second place finish (22.53) there two back. Rates on top in this line up. WE ARE SOUTH (2) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing eighth (23.11) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Goes well out of this box with a win and six minor placings. Has ability and can atone. HILLBILLY ROCKY (7) comes off an average effort last start when sixth at this track over 390m behind Urana Muffin (22.78) in a Grade 5. Was in the money prior to that. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Likely to be thereabouts. NEENA BALE (8) is likely to have admirers.

Did a good job two starts back at Bendigo to win by 8 lengths in 24.29, beating Smiling Bee. Last start finished last on January 12 over 390m at Warrnambool behind Bush Profit beaten 6 lengths (23.20) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5. Capable of much better. Worth keeping safe.
