Ballarat Race 2

A1 Signage (0-2 Wins)

Prize Money: $2,925

XARA MELODY (8) was responsible for a modest effort most recently when seventh at Sandown over 515m behind Dashing Jiffy (30.63) in a Mix 6/7. Was a winner prior to that. Key runner on her best form. PAW NESSY (2) jumped well and was in the mix early before fading out of it late when 5th over 450m at this track in Mix 6/7 H company. Likely to be about the mark. INDIAN PRINCE (3) broke a string of placings finishing in the money two on end before a last start seventh (31.16) at The Meadows. Cannot be underestimated. AYESHA BALE (1) cannot be left out despite racing here for the first time.
