Ballarat Race 13 Damsels Dash

Prize Money: $2,925

SOCIALISM (6) was a winner (22.69) at Geelong two back but out of the placings last time when 6th there. Can make amends. ZIVA BALE (1) has been in the placings at her last two runs, most recently when third (22.34) in a Grade 5 over 390m at this track. Can turn it around this time. JILL'S FANTASY (4) was responsible for a modest effort most recently when sixth at Warrnambool over 450m behind Baby Girl Pearl (26.10) in a Grade 5. Can measure up this time. ASTON PLUTO (2) is building a solid run wins and will play a big role again.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when second (22.40) over 390m at Warrnambool. Jumps from a wide draw. Has to do a bit more.
