Ballarat Race 9

Rsn Grey Areas - Wednesday & Friday

Stake: $1,683

MY OPIE (6) sprung the lids and led throughout to score by 3.5 lengths (22.52) at Warrnambool in Maiden. Failed to fire only run here. Well placed and can measure up. SHE'S OUR ART (1) missed the frame last time when fifth (24.63) at Bendigo but prior to that had two placings in a row. Worth another chance. CORNHILL HUSTLER (2) comes off an average performance last start when fifth at Shepparton over 390m behind Four Pies Saint (22.72) in a Grade 7. The form out of last race has been strong. In the mix. ASTON RIOT (5) has ability and finds the right scenario to bounce back.
