Ballarat Race 12

Two More Races To Go

Prize Money: $1,530

SNOWBALL ONE (5) has missed the frame at her last couple but wasn't beaten far three back when second (22.81) at Geelong in a Rank Limit - Grade 5. Looks suited here and big improvement expected. IT'S SOYSAGES (1) has been hard to follow lately, running sixth (22.78) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at this track. Expecting significant improvement this line-up. HOLLYWOOD FRANKY (2) has been in super consistent form recently with two minors on end before missing the frame latest finishing sixth (24.59) at Bendigo. Likely to be thereabouts. TINKER CONALL (7) must be respected at his pet track and distance.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (22.78) in a Grade 5, finishing a 7 length sixth. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.

Comments

Was sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 4 length fourth (22.82) over 390m at this track. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when third (28.55) at big odds over 500m at Bendigo. Tricky draw to overcome but can measure up.
