Ballarat Race 9

Sportsbet Supporters Of Having A Crack

Prize Money: $2,925

POP POP BANG (3) was well supported last time and gave a sight after a fast early split but could manage only the minor money, finishing a half a length second (22.28) over 390m at this track. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Top prospect. KENSINGTON GIRL (8) was a last start winner (22.48) from Box 8 at Warrnambool. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. JUNO USKO (6) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (22.49) at Warrnambool behind Paw Yaris in a Bottom Up - Restricted Win. Has the pace to be prominent. Expecting another good run. MYSTIC CONTESSA (4) is a last-start placegetter who should be thereabouts.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage eighth last time out over 450m at Shepparton. Hard to tip with any confidence.

Well supported last time and rocketed out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but had to settle for the minor money, finishing a half a length second (22.28) over 390m at this track. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Pay to follow.

Produced a good run, hitting the frame last run (23.14) at Warragul in a Mix 6/7. Has first look at box 4 this time. Has ability and can sneak into the finish.

Flew the lids with a sensational early split and led throughout to score an impressive win by 5 lengths over 390m at Warrnambool (22.48). Has hit winning form and can go on with it.
