Ballarat Race 12

Two Races To Go

Prize Money: $1,530

DIMORA STRIPEY (8) made it two minor placings on the trot when beaten third (22.68) in a Bottom Up - Restricted Win at Warrnambool last time out. Looks suited here and big improvement expected. VINNIE BLACK (7) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fourth (22.92) in a T3 Grade 6 at this track. One of the better chances. ENRAGED BABA (2) is having his first look at this course. In the money last start when third (23.43) at Geelong over 400m. Bold showing expected. HARTLAND BUDDY (1) cannot be underestimated.

Got back last start and could only manage eighth but before that won by 0.8 lengths at Bendigo (24.66) beating Big Weekend in a Rank Limit - Restricted Win on May 20. Can bounce back. One of the main chances.
