Ballarat Race 14

Prize Money: $2,925

FLYING MAVERICK (1) last appeared when too good (25.96) over 435m at Sale on December 26. Resumes after finishing eighth (25.96) at Sale over 435m three-and-a-half months ago. Has a strong record at this journey including two wins. Strike-rate solid and expected to feature in the finish. POWER AFFECT (2) is a well performed dog who recorded his 6th career win last time out at Warrnambool (22.11). Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. RELAX MATE (6) stalked the pace from a low draw last start and fought on well to finish 3.5 lengths away in third (23.45) at Horsham in a Grade 5 over 410m. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Expected to be in the finish again. LAKEVIEW MITCH (3) recorded a handy 24.43 win last start. In form and worth including.

Returns from a break and was a winner at only other try fresh, which was at first career start scoring at Warragul over 400m. Looks a definite winning chance here.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Warrnambool over 390m in 22.11 last start, beating Bragging Rights. Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a fast early split, paving the way for a 1.5 lengths win at Sale over 435m in 24.43. Rates among the chances this time.

Finished seventh last start at this track but prior to that had been racing consistently. Boxed awkwardly and will need to find best.

Missed the frame last start when a 14 length sixth (22.79) at Shepparton. Previous form sound including a win three back at this track. Tough field and looking to others this time.

Form has been strong with wins two and three starts back. Last time out finished 3rd over 410m at Horsham beaten 3.5 lengths (23.45) behind Waxing in a Grade 5 on April 7. Thereabouts recently and definitely worth including.

Didn't make the placings last time at Geelong (23.44) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 13 length fifth. Super consistent from the draw with a win and three places from four starts. Will need the right run.

Missed the frame latest (16.92) when fourth over 300m at Healesville in a Grade 5. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and five places from 13 starts. Will need the right run.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
