Ballarat Race 13

Prize Money: $3,360

ISHIKAWA LASS (1) has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a 4 length second over 390m this track in 22.38. Has a strong record out of this box with two wins and a minor placing from five starts. Can go on with it. ASTON TORTA (2) hit the ground running last time with a fast early split and never headed, leading throughout to win by 2.25 lengths (22.24) over 390m at this track. Has performed well from this box with a win and five minor placings to his name from seven starts. Will go close again if runs up to latest. BLACKPOOL FINN (5) broke from a low draw and filled a minor placing last start, beaten only 0.8 lengths (22.19) behind Myrniong Storm at this track. Leading player again. RIDICULOUS (8) form at this distance reads well.

In the money last time at Mt Gambier (17.77) in a Grade 2/3/4, finishing a 6 length third. Has performed well off the draw with a win and five places from 12 starts. Has ability and should be around the money.
