Ballarat Race 5

Sportsbet Final (1-4 Wins)

Prize Money: $3,360

ASTON GRANDEUR (1) jumped from out wide and was game in defeat last start when a half a length second (25.35) behind Inga Johnny at this track. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. One of the contenders. HOOKED AND HAPPY (6) was well supported last time but could only manage third (26.44), beaten 7 lengths. Well placed and gets his chance. TIN LIDS (4) was drawn the middle last start but pinged the lids and recorded an all-the-way win (25.47) at this track in a Restricted WIN over 450m. Should be in this for a long way. SUNTORY LILAC (2) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start.

Could only manage sixth last time but the start prior hit the frame when second (24.72) over 435m at Sale. Has a low draw and is worth plenty of thought.

Scored (22.68) last time out at Geelong in a Restricted WIN and will break from box 3 for the first time. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.

In fine form with wins at his last couple of outings when well in the market most recently at Warragul. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Comments

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors five starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (26.44) at Geelong over 460m. Around the mark two starts back. Winning chance on that form.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won by 1.1 lengths at Warrnambool (22.36) beating Red Nose in a Restricted WIN H on August 13. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.

Drawn the outside box and could be suited with some luck. Goes ok at this track and distance but recent form not good enough, looking to others this time.
