Ballarat Race 13

Prize Money: $2,925

HENRIKSEN (3) flew the lids from out wide with an impressive turn of foot before finishing second (22.10) and beaten 2.5 lengths over 390m at this track. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Ready to find winning form. TOUCH OF SIN (8) produced a modest effort most recently when sixth at Warrnambool over 390m behind Blue Labubu (22.35) in a Grade 5. Placed at her previous run. Has ability and can atone. IMPEL (6) hit the frame latest (22.11) when third at this track in a Grade 5. Has two wins already from this draw. Looks suited here and can measure up. SUMO SMASH (1) is building a solid run of minor placings and will play a big role again.

Looks close to another win after his success on November 27 at Warrnambool over 390m. Last start was second over 390m in 22.23, behind Naughty Norm. Thereabouts at his last couple and is capable of better.

Comments

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 3 length second (22.35) over 390m at Warrnambool. Should be around the mark.

Has been in the money the last two runs. Finished second at this track in 22.10 last time but the start prior clocked a solid 22.24 over 390m finishing second at this track. Expected to push the clock again here.

Hit the frame at Healesville last time when a 1.75 lengths second but did record a slick 16.74 over the 300m trip. Looking to others this time.

Racing well without winning, filling the minors at her last three starts, the latest when third (24.91) at Sale. Tricky draw to overcome. Will need plenty of luck.

Quickly away at Horsham two runs back then again settled forward and finished third at this track last start over 390m. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors two back when second (23.33) over 410m at Horsham. Tough draw to overcome but is among the better hopes.
