Ballarat Race 4

Tudor Electrical

Prize Money: $1,530

BOROUGH MAN (2) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at Shepparton behind Aeroplane Arrow (22.67) in a Grade 5. Has the pace to be prominent. Sure to be about the mark. NALA'S GHOST (1) is a fast beginner who has shown good improvement at his last two starts, breaking through last time at Bendigo over 425m. Looks a key chance if runs up to latest figure. SHEILA'S WAIT (5) has been hard to follow lately, running fifth (23.14) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at this track. Key player on best and worth another try. ASTON PLUS (8) is not to be discarded.

Good effort to score just five days ago over 425m at Bendigo by 4 lengths in a Grade 5. Has hit winning form and can go on with it.

Got back last start and could only manage fourth but before that won by 1.4 lengths at Bendigo (24.66) beating Zipping Swazi in a Grade 5 on August 6. Looking to others this time.

Could only manage fifth last time but the start prior went down fighting when third (22.79) over 390m at this track. Has a squeeze box to navigate but in the mix on his best form.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors two back when third (23.40) over 400m at Geelong. Has a wide draw to navigate but is among the better hopes.
