Ballarat Race 13

Prize Money: $2,925

PAW HUNTER (1) doesn't win out of turn. Finished in the money last time though when second (23.68) at Horsham. Can go on with it. ASTON MONARCHY (7) could manage only third at this track last time but impressed when clocking a swift 22.23 over 390m at this track the start prior. Expected to feature on best figures. HIGHWAY HOOLIGAN (8) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (22.28) in a Grade 5 H at this track. Solid record at the distance winning four races. Has ability and can atone. PAW PAVLOV (2) is worth including.

Could only manage sixth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when second (24.57) over 425m at Bendigo. Drawn out wide and looks safely held.

Well supported last time and gave a sight after a fast early split but could manage only the minor money, finishing a 4 length third (22.19) over 390m at this track. Forward showing expected.
