Ballarat Race 4

Southern Sheetmetal (300+ Rank)

Stake: $1,652

MAJOR ALLEN (2) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing seventh (26.40) in a Grade 7 at Warrnambool. Has ability and can bounce back. ASTON GIRL (4) turned in a good run last time, finishing in the placings (26.09) at Warrnambool in a Mix 6/7. Lines up from box 4 for the first time. Expecting another good run. LEKTRA OTIS (1) doesn't win out of turn. Hit the board with a minor placing last time when third (26.15) at Warrnambool. Expected to be in the finish again. LEKTRA JANE (5) is a last start winner who can measure up again.

Ran a better race when third behind Dimora Stripey at Warrnambool last start over 450m (26.15). Gets back so might need a bit of luck.

Last start finished last in a Grade 7 on April 28 over 450m at Warrnambool behind Out The Window beaten 14 lengths (26.40). Solid formlines coming through that last run. Looks a major player.

Got back last start and could only manage eighth but before that won by 0.8 lengths at this track (25.77) beating Typhoon Terry in a Maiden on May 19. Mixing her form but shapes as a genuine chance under these conditions.

Produced a good run, hitting the frame last run (26.09) at Warrnambool in a Mix 6/7. Has first look at box 4 this time. Appeals as a leading chance in this.

Backs up after winning by half a length at Geelong (26.49) beating Point Man in a Maiden on June 10 four days ago. Likely to find this a lot tougher and he needs to find another gear.
