Ballarat Race 13

Prize Money: $2,925

PINE BLUFF (3) flew the lids from out wide with an impressive turn of foot before finishing third (22.62) and beaten 0.6 lengths over 390m at Warrnambool. Must come into calculations. ASTON FONTAINE (1) sprung the lids and on speed throughout before being run over late when fourth (22.27) at this track over 390m. A big run wouldn't surprise. PAW INFLAME (2) turned in a plain performance last time when seventh at Bendigo over 425m behind Zambada Icon (24.44) in a Grade 5. Can measure up this time. MCKERCHER (8) should be thereabouts after filling a top-three spot most recently.

Showed strong early pace and stuck on well despite finishing out of the placings when fourth over 390m this track in 22.27. More than capable and has to be included.

Could only manage fourth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when second (23.69) over 410m at Horsham. Has to overcome a wide draw and will need to find best.
