Ballarat Race 14

Prize Money: $2,925

POETIC STAR (3) got around 400m in a decent 22.75 when winning a Grade 5 at Warragul last start. Has the ability and expected to go close again. KENSINGTON FLYER (1) hit the ground running and on speed early but faded out of it to finish fourth (22.33) at this track over 390m. Solid record here at the distance winning three races. Has the ability to give this a shake. RHUBARB (6) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 6th at Warrnambool following on from a third place finish (22.55) at Geelong the start prior. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Has ability and can measure up. SON OF WITCHY (8) scored last time and can measure up again.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Geelong over 400m. Last start finished 4th over 390m at this track beaten 1.75 lengths (22.33) behind Bush Big Show in a Grade 5 on July 8. More than capable and has to be included.
