Ballarat Race 9

Sportsbet Final (1-4 Wins)

Prize Money: $3,360

AFFILIATED (2) jumped cleanly from the rails to lead much the way when second (22.12) at this track in a Restricted WIN H over 390m. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minor placings. One of the leading chances. MIGHTY MISS (1) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by one length at this track in a handy 22.07 beating AFFILIATED. Winner at her latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Sure to be thereabouts. PAW HADES (3) ran below best last time finishing fourth (22.55) over 390m at this track in a Restricted WIN H. Should be thereabouts. BLACKPOOL IRIS (8) is a course and distance winner with strong prospects.

Comments

Charged out of the boxes with a fast early split and led for much of the way before being grabbed late, finishing a one length second at this track over 390m in 22.12. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Pay to follow.

Eye-catching performance showing plenty of speed to score by 1.3 lengths in a Restricted WIN H last start at this track, clocking a solid 22.22 over the 390m trip. Has the ability and looks a key chance.
