Ballarat Race 13

Prize Money: $1,530

MINI MINION (3) pinged the lids and was in the firing line throughout but drifted out of it when 6th at Shepparton in a Bottom Up - Grade 5. Has ability and is a key runner. HARTLAND DUKE (1) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fourth (23.09) in a Rank Limit - Grade 5 at Shepparton. Can figure in the finish. SHY CABANG (2) turned in a moderate performance last time when fifth at Shepparton over 390m behind Kraken Rum (23.15) in a Rank Limit - Grade 5. Placed at her previous run. Must be included in calculations. TINKER MIKE (8) cannot be overlooked following a recent top-three finish.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 23.27 over 400m at Geelong. Looks a solid contender.

Could only manage sixth last time but the start prior hit the frame when third (24.64) over 425m at Bendigo. Boxed out wide but can measure up.
