Ballarat Race 13

Prize Money: $2,925

PATRIOT NIAMH (4) stalked the lead from the inside draw before finishing second last start (22.24) at this track in Grade 5 over 390m. Capable of going well again. GAS LANTERN (6) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by 2.5 lengths at this track in a handy 22.31 beating Vinny Dewalt. Shapes as a top winning chance on latest effort. PAW MISSY (1) turned in a plain effort last time when sixth at Horsham over 410m behind Paw Olympus (23.76) in a Mix 3/4. Placed at her previous run. Has a strong record out of this box with two wins and two minor placings from five starts. Great chance to atone. PAW OPPA (2) can measure up with the right run.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when third (30.02) over 515m at Sandown. Has a fair record off the rails draw and can measure up.

Missed the frame latest (22.76) when fifth over 400m at Geelong in a Grade 4/5. Has performed well off the draw with a win and two places from five starts. Has ability and should be around the money.

Did a good job two starts back at Geelong to win by a nose in 22.78, beating Dream Lucky. Last start finished 4th on July 15 over 390m at this track behind Zipping Sandchez beaten 2.5 lengths (22.40) in a Grade 5. Can't make much of a case this time.

Finished in the minors last time but the start prior was a strong winner after leading throughout, scoring by 4 lengths in a Grade 5 at Warrnambool and clocking an excellent 21.98 for the 390m trip. Has the ability and can find winning form again.

Flew the lids with a strong early split and led throughout to score an impressive win by 2.5 lengths over 390m at this track (22.31). Looks the one to beat.

Didn't make the placings last time at Bendigo (24.08) in a Free For All, finishing a 5 length fourth. Goes well out of this box with a win and seven minors. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a seventh over 390m at Shepparton. Cannot enthuse on this occasion.
