Ballarat (G) Race 12

Two More Races To Go

Prize Money: $1,530

TINKER DOT (1) jumped from out wide and was game in defeat last start when a 2 length second (22.94) behind Fancy Faye at Geelong. Can go on with it. UPTOWN SALLY (8) should get a clear run from the wide draw. Safely held last start when a 7 length 6th at Shepparton (22.62). Has a strong winning record here at this journey including three wins. Has a strong record out of this box with four wins and a minor placing from six starts. Great chance to atone. SUPER CEVICHE (6) latest effort finished 5th over 410m at Horsham beaten 5.5 lengths (23.84) behind Bundy Paradise in a Grade 5 on March 3. Looks suited here and can measure up. NAPIER BALE (4) will be thereabouts while fresh.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage eighth last time out over 390m at this track. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.
