Ballarat Race 13

One More Race To Go

Prize Money: $2,925

ZIPPING MUFASA (2) continued his winning form with another strong run after leading to make it two in a row, scoring at Sale over 435m (24.55). Some good form is emerging from his last run. Can measure up again. SPEEDY EASY (6) recorded a win over the 425m at Bendigo in a strong 24.05 last start. Harder here but expected to measure up. LOCHINVAR RUBY (1) is looking to continue her winning ways off a convincing 22.53 victory at Geelong. Should be in this for a long way. SOLICIT (5) boasts a solid strike-rate over this trip.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start by 1.1 lengths at Sale (24.55) beating Sand Dunes in a Grade 4/5 on December 1. Looks well placed to make it three straight.

In rare form with a current sequence of three wins on the bounce. Added to the tally last start when he won easily by 3.5 lengths at Ipswich (25.30) beating Mr. Morningstar in a Novice race on November 15. In sparkling form and must be included.

Quickly out of the boxes with a slick early sectional clocking 24.05 with a half a length win at Bendigo over 425m. Has a superb 22.08 best time at this course and distance. Big chance.
