“Aston Nero lights up Mandurah over 400m”

Explosive beginner Aston Nero made light work of box six and a top field tonight when he led throughout to win the Tommy Shelby At Stud Provincial 3/4 over 400m. The regally bred sprinter was sired by Aussie Infrared and is out of elite producer Fantastic Dotty. He crossed his rivals and clocked a scintillating first section of 6.18 before powering away to win by six lengths in a near record 22.03. The track record stands at 21.90 and the run of 22.03 is one of the fastest recorded over the last few months. Aston Nero is owned by Ray Borda, trained by Kody Charles and has now won 17 of 47 career outings. His mother Fantastic Dotty has produced five litters that have combined for 399 victories and over $1,500,000 in prizemoney.

HOUNDS TO FOLLOW :

Race 1 Number 3 SOULS ON FIRE : Sped out of the blocks to lead throughout in a smart 17.11.

Race 4 Number 3 DURANGO MONELLI : Improved at box rise and made every post a winner, scoring in a promising 27.52 over 488m.
