The former Junee girl, now based in Sydney, will return to the region for her first race drives.

She has four on the 10-race card.

All are for her uncles, two for Trevor White and two for Terry Judd.

She’s excited at the prospect of driving in a race.

“I wanted to have my first drive for the family so it will be special,” Hart said.

“I’m pretty excited and six months doesn’t seem a long time, but when you are waiting and doing your trials it feels like it takes forever.”

The 21-year-old also goes head-to-head with younger brother Cameron in her first race.

He will drive Luvumum for Jake Stockton while she is aboard Judd’s Navajo Rocky.

Cameron has already put the pressure on by steering a winner with his first drive.

Ashley isn’t going in with too many expectations.

“I don’t think I will be that lucky but we will see how we go,” Ashley said.

“They didn’t bless me with any good draws unfortunately.”

Ashley rated Navajo Rocky as her best winning chance, but is also looking forward to steering Exclusive Jack.

“It might seem stupid but I am pretty excited to come down and drive Exclusive Jack,” she said.

“He’s not much good but he was my favourite in the stable when I was working for uncle Trev.”

She also has three drives at Newcastle on Saturday night for Craig Cross.
