Sale Race 5

Eastern Fitting & Machining

Stake: $3,629

SON OF GHOST (1) missed the frame latest when sixth at Ballarat (26.00) but scored five back at this track (28.72). Solid record here at the distance winning two races. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Can bounce back. WINKING WILLIE (7) hit the frame latest (16.72) when third at Healesville in a Grade 4/5. Has six wins already from this draw. Can feature in the finish. RIBERO (2) jumped favourite and was too quick with an all-the-way win last start (22.97) at Warragul in a Grade 5 over 400m. Has a strong record out of this box with two wins and a minor placing from five starts. Can make it two on the bounce. ASHLEY HOOK (8) should be in the finish fresh from a four-and-a-half months break.

Was out of placings last time (26.00) at Ballarat in a Grade 4/5, finishing sixth and beaten 8 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and four places from eight starts. Makes strong appeal.

Charged out of the boxes with a fast early split and led throughout to score when a half a length winner (22.97) over 400m at Warragul. Has a very good strike-rate out of box 2, scoring two times. Among the chances.

Finished third last start (29.46) at big odds over 510m at this track. Drawn awkwardly. Looks to have the job ahead.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won easily by 6 lengths at this track (24.57) beating Dr. Harold in a Grade 4/5 on April 30. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.

Hit the frame at Healesville last time when a 0.9 lengths third but did record a fast 16.72 over the 300m trip. Hard to top with a repeat of that run.
