Geelong Race 8

Sc Technology Group (250+ Rank)

Prize Money: $1,530

ASTON SUNSHINE (4) is a talented dog who is a winner of five races but missed the frame last time when seventh at Bendigo (24.58). Looks the one to beat on her best form. TRICK (1) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing eighth (20.82) in a Grade 4/5 at Traralgon. Solid record at the distance winning three races. Has a strong record out of this box with two wins and a minor placing from five starts. Shapes as one to consider. KIANI STAR (7) turned in a moderate effort last time when seventh at Ballarat over 390m behind Elliot Nova (23.18) in a Grade 5. Key player if finds best. TRICKY DISCO (2) is always a threat when he draws this box.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won by 1.5 lengths at this track (22.89) beating Cheeky Alessia in a Grade 5 on July 24. Can't recommend her in this.

Goes well at this track and trip. At the last outing finished last in a Grade 5 on August 15 over 390m at Ballarat behind Elliot Nova beaten 11 lengths (23.18). Should show more than the latest offering. Has claims.
