Ballarat Race 8 - Southern Sheetmetal

ASTON ALLURE (2) latest effort finished 3rd in a Grade 5 on May 6 over 525m at The Meadows behind Tiger Shark beaten 4 lengths (30.95). Looks hard to beat with even luck. LIGHTHEARTEDNESS (1) turned in a fair 4th placed finish last time at Bendigo over 500m (28.87). The form out of his last race has been franked. Better than last start and can bounce back. SMOOTH RANGER (3) was safely held last time out, finishing sixth at Traralgon over 425m behind Paw Hazeldon (24.98) in a Grade 5. Can measure up this time. LEKTRA OTIS (4) is one of the chances after a minor prize from this draw last time.
