Ballarat Race 12

Two More Races To Go

Prize Money: $2,925

BEAR THE BRUNT (8) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (22.08) last time out at this track. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Makes plenty of appeal. SPECIAL LAD (2) charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but swamped late when a close up fourth (22.08) at this track over 390m. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings two times from four starts. Shapes as one to consider. PAW VARNA (7) has some solid form under her belt and proved too strong last time to win by a nose at this track in a handy 22.45 beating Bart Intention. Sure to be thereabouts. PAW CALLIE (1) is a last-start placegetter who will have admirers.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 3.5 lengths fourth (22.08) over 390m at this track. Expected to go very well.
