Ballarat Race 13

Prize Money: $2,925

NANNA NAP (3) rocketed around 390m at this track in 22.08 three back then has been in the money the last two since. Can measure up on top win three back. DON'T TELL SHELL (4) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 7th at Bendigo following on from a second place finish (23.94) there the start prior. Must be included in calculations. BIG TRUCKER (2) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (22.33) last time in a Grade 5 at Shepparton. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Cannot be taken lightly. CRUSOE RICO (1) must be respected at his pet distance.

Comments

Didn't make the placings last time at Bendigo (24.36) in a Free For All, finishing a 12 length fifth. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and three places from nine starts. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 7 length second (22.55) over 390m at this track and making it two placings on end. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Hit the ground running last time with a fast early split and never headed, leading throughout to win by 0.9 lengths (22.50) over 390m at Shepparton. Sure to be about the mark.
