Ballarat Race 5

AWESOME AVENGER (7) finished a 2 length second last start over 500m at Bendigo in a fast 28.22. Expected to go close again if runs up to latest time. TAMMY MCIVOR (4) was prominent throughout when winning two back but could manage only midfield last time when 4th and beaten 9 lengths at The Meadows (30.37). Goes well out of this box with a win and two minor placings. In the mix. ASTON GAGA (6) has a fair record and proved too strong last time to win by 3 lengths at The Meadows in a handy 30.06 beating Paw Whitley. Winner at her latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. One of the key runners again.

Modest effort last time out when fourth over 460m at Geelong. Will not find this easy. Not keen.

Was out of placings last time (26.98) at Geelong in a Grade 5, finishing seventh and beaten 9 lengths. Yet to win but has placed three times from this draw. Others rate better this time.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 2 length second at Bendigo but did record a solid 28.22 over the 500m trip. Rates a top chance with a repeat here.
