Ballarat Race 10

Southern Sheetmetal

Prize Money: $2,925

ASTON SUNSHINE (2) hit the ground running and never headed, leading throughout to win by 8 lengths over 390m at Warrnambool (22.03). The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Ideally placed to take this out. SHALLOW SALLY (7) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing sixth (23.14) last time in a Mix 6/7 at Geelong. Has an impeccable record here. Won at her only start from this draw. Expected to feature in the finish. ASTON SWING (6) comes off an average performance last start when seventh at this track over 450m behind Ash Intention (26.15) in a Restricted WIN H. Was in the money prior to that. The form out of last run is most impressive. Shapes as one to consider. POETIC STAR (1) can measure up with the right run.

Finished fifth (22.60) last start at Shepparton. Prior to that had recorded eight minor placings in a row. Aided by the inside draw but prefer each-way.

Sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional and went on to clock 22.03 in a 8 length win at Warrnambool over 390m. The one to beat again.

Last couple of starts have been ordinary but she does have a good record at the track and trip, including two wins. Has performed below expectations at her last couple but is capable of far better.

Was out of the placings last time at Sale but prior to that had been racing consistently, notching five minors in a row. Has a wide draw to navigate and will need the right run to feature.
