Ballarat Race 8 - Sportsbet Set A Deposit Limit
ASTON OPHELIA (4) spotted a start but wound up strongly late and finished third and beaten 5 lengths (22.95) at Geelong in Grade 5. Sure to be about the mark. ACOUSTIC FLASH (1) finds it hard to break through. Has hit the frame the last two runs, the latest when second (24.76) at Bendigo. Form at the trip sound including four wins. Overdue and is among the main hopes. SASSY SWAN (5) jumped a wide draw and ran into the minors when third by 1.75 lengths (25.11) at Sale in Grade 5. Missed the placings only try here. Comes through a solid form race last start. Winning chance. BALLOON HEAD (2) can find the frame without surprising.

Flew the lids with a quick early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (22.95) over 400m at Geelong. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.
