RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: ROCKIN CHARMER (6) was very good last start at his second run for the new stable. While he had every chance, there was clear improvement in the performance. He possesses early gate speed and gets the state's leading driver aboard, so expect an aggressive approach in search of the lead against moderate opposition. ABERCROMBIE LIMBO (2) was well backed last start when finishing third. Although she had her chance, she stuck on reasonably well and looks likely to lead before potentially taking cover. SHEZABLUECHIP (8) is third-up from a spell and hasn't been far away in either run this preparation. The draw is awkward, but half of her career wins have come at this track. FAKE CULLECTION (9) is the stablemate and drops into a suitable race on ratings. Her record at Shepparton is the concern, having placed only twice from 17 attempts.
