Ballarat Race 14

Prize Money: $2,925

SHALLOW SALLY (7) was strongly supported last start when a short priced favourite and duly saluted winning by 4.5 lengths at Geelong in a handy 22.46. Draws out wide but goes well at this distance. Winner at her latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. The one to beat again. CONROY PARK (2) last appeared when too good (23.26) over 400m at Geelong on July 4. Resumes after finishing seventh (23.26) at Geelong over 400m 11 months ago. Solid record at the distance winning two races. Will go close here with a clear run. ASTON FRANCESCA (4) started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fourth (22.30) at this track over 390m. Likely to play a prominent role. MAJOR WAIT (1) can measure up with the right run.

Has finished fourth at her last couple of starts, most recently at this track over 390m. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Ended last campaign with a seventh (23.26) in a GR 5 at Geelong and returns after a 11 months break. Yet to win but has placed from two first-up runs. Looks well placed here and expected to go close.

Good performance to win by 2.75 lengths at Healesville over 300m (16.69) beating Guacamole Irish in Grade 5 on May 15. Prepared to overlook.

Comments

Was sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 2.5 lengths fourth (22.30) over 390m at this track. Has ability and worth including.
