Ballarat Race 9

A1 Signage (275+ Rank)

Prize Money: $2,925

PAW WONDER (7) stalked the pace from a low draw last start and fought on well to finish 6 lengths away in second (23.65) at Horsham in a Restricted WIN over 410m. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from three attempts. Can measure up this time. MR. JONES (5) was in winning form two back (23.98) at Bendigo but ran below best last time at Shepparton, finishing 6th. The form out of last race has been strong. Leading chance. HUDSON HAWK (6) finished eighth last time at Geelong but could not have been more impressive a few runs back in his handy 25.39 win at Warrnambool over 450m. Top win three back and can measure up again. ZAWADI (1) is worth consideration after filling a hole at big odds last start.

Missed the frame last start when a 9 length seventh (26.02) at Shepparton. Previous form sound including a win three back at Bendigo. Has ability and looks a key chance.

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 6 length second (23.65) over 410m at Horsham. In the money last time and looks well placed to go one better.
