Ballarat Race 7

A1 Signage (1-2 Wins)

Prize Money: $1,740

TOMMY MARRA (8) has been mixing form lately, hitting the frame two back before finishing fourth (35.45) at Sandown in a Restricted WIN. Well placed here and can atone this time. CARLEY'S IMAGE (2) jumped from a squeeze box last start but was quickly into stride and led throughout to score (28.70) at Bendigo in a Restricted WIN over 500m. Bold showing expected again. ASTON SURPASS (4) can fill a top-three spot. Something for the Multiples: DARK MIRACLE (6)

Flew the lids with a strong early split and led throughout to score an impressive win by 2 lengths over 500m at Bendigo (28.70). In-form and measures right up. Hard to beat.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and drifts back in her races. Last start finished fifth over 600m at The Meadows, beaten 19 lengths. Other runners look much more appealing.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage eighth last time out over 450m at this track. Has failed to show enough to come into contention.

At the last outing finished last in a T3 Grade 6 on August 28 over 450m at Shepparton behind Zelda Braga beaten 6 lengths (26.11). Expect improvement on the latest effort. Great chance to atone.
