Ballarat Race 14

Prize Money: $2,925

Looks suited here and big improvement expected. KATE'S RIFT (1) was midfield throughout and finished there last time when 4th (23.14) at Geelong. Form from her last run is proving to be solid. Can do much better this time. SPRING QUIZ (8) can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Bendigo over 425m in 24.14 last start, beating Thought Of That. Deserved winner last time after finishing in the money two on end prior to that. Can make it two on the trot.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Shepparton over 450m in 25.69. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when sixth over 500m at Bendigo at Bottom Up - Grade 5 level. Not keen this time.
