Ballarat Race 5

Southern Sheetmetal

Prize Money: $2,925

ZIVA DIVA (5) fast into stride from an outside box to score two back (25.43) then drew the fence and got further back last time when 6th at Geelong (23.15). Can make amends. ASTON BLITZ (1) turned in a plain run last time when seventh at this track over 390m behind Sumo Smash (22.78) in a Grade 5. Scored at her previous run. Form from her last run is proving to be solid. Leading chance. ASTON REEVES (6) can run a bold race on best form.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when second (28.46) over 500m at Bendigo. Has a low draw and in the mix on his best form.

Found the going tougher last start when second over 350m at Healesville. That followed a win two back in 19.90 beating Show Boat Johnny over 350m at Healesville. Hard to tip with any confidence.

Won over this track and trip. Latest effort finished 6th over 400m at Geelong beaten 6 lengths (23.15) behind Mac And Cheese in a Grade 5 on May 1. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 6 lengths in 22.09, beating Hollywood Franky. Last start finished 7th over 390m at this track beaten 13 lengths (23.16) behind Sumo Smash in a Rank Limit - Grade 5 on May 2. Solid claims this line-up.
