Ballarat Race 12

Two More Races To Go

Prize Money: $2,925

SPRING ESPRESSO (3) was midfield throughout and finished there last time when 4th (22.22) at Warrnambool. Has winning claims on her best figures. LAKEVIEW MITCH (8) has some solid form under his belt and proved too classy last time to win by a neck at Geelong in a handy 22.78 beating Aston Fumiko. Looks a key chance if runs up to latest figure. PAW ZENITH (4) was out of the placings last time when fifth at this track (22.65) but scored five back at this track (25.54). Has ability and a bold showing is expected. PAW XANTHIE (7) raced handy last time and scored. Big chance on that form.
