Ballarat Race 12 - Two More Races To Go

ASTON CLEESE (3) flew the lids with a sensational early split and led throughout to score an impressive win by 3.5 lengths over 390m at Warrnambool (22.10). Great chance again. SUMO SMASH (1) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing sixth (23.21) in a Grade 5 H at Warragul. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minor placings. Can do much better this time. SPRING JOEL (2) was out of the placings last time but before that was an impressive winner (18.16) in a Grade 5 at Richmond. Can turn it around this time. SAVANNAH STAR (7) is always a threat when she draws this box.
