Compton Shelly boasts an exceptional strike rate at this track and distance, winning all four starts over 437y at Mt Gambier. Despite a couple of recent unplaced runs, her last win here was strong, and she's young with significant upside. The wide draw might be a slight concern, but her track/distance record is undeniable.
