Ballarat Race 6

A1 Signage (2-4 Wins)

Prize Money: $2,925

PAW TARKOV (1) boxed on well to finish third last time, beaten one length (25.78) behind Belair Crown at Warrnambool. Must come into calculations. PAW DAMON (6) comes here off a placing in handy time (25.24) over 450m at this track. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. TASTE THAT (4) had been going along well winning a Mix 6/7 H three back then placing at Healesville before missing the frame latest when fifth (30.87) at The Meadows. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. STRUCK THE LOT (2) was well fancied last time on the strength of a win two back but could only manage fifth (31.15) at The Meadows. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and two minor placings to her credit.

Showed brilliant pace early and gave a sight when a one length third over 450m Warrnambool in 25.78. Has a strong 25.2 PB at this course and distance. Hard to beat.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Shepparton over 450m in 25.40. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fifth over 525m at The Meadows at Rank Limit - Grade 5 level. Well placed and among the chances here.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow fourth (25.87) over 450m at Warrnambool. Prefer to watch at this stage.

Missed the frame last start when a 4.5 lengths fifth (30.87) at The Meadows. Previous form sound including a win three back at Healesville. Capable and may well bounce back this time.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Bendigo over 425m. Last start finished 2nd over 450m at this track beaten 2 lengths (25.24) behind Onyx Lass in a Restricted WIN on March 4. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last time. Follow up.
