Ballarat Race 10

A1 Signage

Prize Money: $3,360

OUR PATCH (8) caught the eye with a fast early split and setting up a 6 length win at this track over 390m in 21.88. The form from his last run stacks up well. Form reads well for this. COMMANCHE JACK (7) had the drop on the lead before drawing clear to score (22.06) at this track in a Grade 5 over 390m. Significant danger. HARD STYLE LEON (6) has a superb record at the course, unbeaten so far from six starts. Scored by 2.25 lengths last time (21.93) in a Free For All over 390m at Shepparton. Looks suited here and can measure up. SOMETHING GOOD (2) is one of the chances after collecting a minor prize last time.

Comments

Did a good job two starts back at Bendigo to win by 0.8 lengths in 24.04, beating Angry Chief. Last start finished 5th in a Mix 3/4 on April 24 over 425m at Bendigo behind Paw Estrella beaten 5 lengths (24.39). Thereabouts last start but looks tested this time.

Form has been strong, including a victory two starts back. Last time out finished 3rd over 390m at this track beaten 4 lengths (22.25) behind Come And See in a Mix 3/4 on April 29. The form from the last run stacks up well. Worth including.

Good performance to win by a neck at Shepparton over 390m (22.60) beating Ivory Mihara in Grade 5 on April 27. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Eye-catching performance to score by 2 lengths in a Grade 5 last start at this track, recording an outstanding 22.06 over the 390m journey. Has the ability and looks a key chance again.

Hit the ground running last time with a fast early split and never headed, leading throughout to win by 6 lengths (21.88) over 390m at this track. The last win was in one of the quickest times on the card. Stick with him.
