Ballarat Race 2

Prize Money: $1,530

INTRIGUE (3) stalked the lead from a low draw and fought on well to finish 2.75 lengths back in third (24.84) at Bendigo in a Maiden over 425m. Expected to feature in the finish again. KEY ECHINACEA (1) produced a modest effort most recently when sixth at this track over 390m behind Super Sealant (23.18) in a Maiden. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Can do much better this time. WHERE'S WYCHE (5) comes off an average run last start when sixth at Healesville over 300m behind It's A Chapple (17.86). Should be in this for a long way. PAW BENNETT (2) looks an each-way chance.

Last start finished 6th on June 2 over 390m at this track behind Super Sealant beaten 6 lengths (23.18) in a Maiden. Solid formlines coming through that last run. Looks a major player.
