Ballarat Race 13

Prize Money: $2,925

HOW AWESOME (6) is rarely out of the finish, recording 16 places from 30 starts. Has been in the minors the last two runs, the latest finishing third (22.45) at Warrnambool. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minor placings. Likely to feature again. PAW QATAR (1) has missed the frame the last couple but was a Grade 5 winner three back (24.69) at Sale over 435m. Well placed here and should do much better. CROSS LOCKS (2) prominent throughout and boxed on soundly to finish in the minors when third (29.84) at Sandown in Grade 5. Failed to fire only run here. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minor placings. Leading player again. BIG BOY PANTS (3) should be thereabouts. Something for the Multiples: REIKO COMET (8)

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish third (29.84) at Sandown over 515m. Has the ability to take this out.
