Ballarat Race 9

Prize Money: $2,925

ON THE RIVER (4) was well backed last start but ran below expectations when fifth (22.48), beaten 6 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. Has ability and is a key runner. CAN SHE YAP (3) scored her first victory last start at this track over 390m (22.23). The form out of her last race has been franked. Should be in this for a long way. PAW KARA (1) settled midfield in the run and boxed on to finish there when 5th (22.52) at Shepparton. Has ability and can atone. WE GOT LUCKY (8) should be thereabouts after filling a top-three spot at big odds most recently.

Eye-catching performance showing plenty of speed to score by 3.5 lengths in a Maiden last start at this track, recording a slick 22.23 over the 390m journey. Rates a top chance again if runs up to latest.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (22.23) over 390m at this track. Jumps from the outside. One of the better hopes.
