Shepparton Race 8 - Nagambie Gutter Cleaning

UNCLE ROSCO (3) has a strong winning strike-rate over this track and trip with two wins and a placing from five tries. Hit the frame latest (19.69) when second at Healesville in a Special conditions Veteran race. Looks a key chance on best form. BAG OF SNAGS (2) missed the frame latest when fifth at The Meadows (30.79) but was a winner four back in the second best time of the program. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Cannot be underestimated. HARD COMPASS (1) missed the frame last time when fourth (25.83) at Ballarat in a Grade 5 but not beaten far the start prior. Can hit the frame this time. JAG FERNANDO (8) placed last time and is worth some thought.

Could only manage fourth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when third (19.39) over 330m at Temora. Has a squeeze box to navigate and will need the right run to feature.
