Ballarat Race 6

Southern Sheetmetal

Prize Money: $2,925

FLYING DUCATI (3) comes here following a sizzling win over 450m at this track in 25.01. In form and rates on top again. PAW TARKOV (1) has a strong winning strike-rate over this track and trip with two wins and a placing from five tries. Below best last time at this track (25.84) in a Restricted WIN, finishing a 4.5 lengths fifth. Looks suited here and can measure up. ASTON HAMILTON (2) trailed the lead and fought on well to be beaten one length into second (25.32) at this track in a Grade 5 over 450m. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Expected to be in this for a long way. FLYING MAVERICK (5) has been freshened for this and can hit the frame.

Comments

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 5th in a Restricted WIN on March 11 over 450m at this track behind Taste That beaten 4.5 lengths (25.84). Placed two back at Warrnambool. Has a fast 25.2 PB at this course and distance. Hard to beat.

Hit the ground running with a fast early sectional but found one better when runner up over 450m at this track clocking 25.32. Boxed on well at the latest run to hit the frame. Leading player.

Strong performance to post a big 3.5 lengths win at this track over 450m (25.23) beating Maddie Odd Sock in Grade 5 on March 10. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Hit the ground running and set it up early clocking 22.56 with a 0.7 lengths win at Geelong over 400m. Makes plenty of appeal on that latest effort.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish third (28.31) at Bendigo over 500m. In the minors two starts back. Winning chance on best form.

Backs up after finishing 7th on March 12 over 450m at Warrnambool in a Grade 5. Other runners look much more appealing.
