Ballarat Race 4

Gap (1-3 Wins)

Prize Money: $2,925

TIN LIDS (5) copped a check in the run and finished a well held 9 lengths eighth (20.04) last time in a Grade 5 at Healesville over 350m. Looks the one to beat on best. APTITUDE (1) looks close to another win after finishing second last time (25.98) in a Mix 6/7 at this track. Must be included in calculations. PAW KABUTO (8) finds it hard to win but looks close to breaking through. Has hit the frame the last two runs, the latest when third (26.01) at this track. Bold showing expected. YALE TURN (4) picked up a cheque out of this box most recently - in the mix again.

Placed last time (19.60) at Healesville in a Mix 6/7, finishing third and beaten a long neck. Yet to win but has placed three times from this draw. Looks a place chance at best.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (25.74) at this track over 450m. Has claims if at his best.
