Ballarat Race 12

Two More Races To Go

Prize Money: $3,360

PAW ESTRELLA (2) has a strong record this track and trip with five wins and five placings from 14 starts. In the money last time at Traralgon (20.38) in a Grade 5 H, finishing a 3.5 lengths third. Expected to go close. PAW DROGO (5) missed the frame last time at Warragul but the start prior rocketed around 400m at Warragul in 22.58. Expected to feature on best figures. PRINCE LAROI (1) is in sizzling form lately, rocketing around Bendigo in 23.88 to score two back then following on with a 22.07 win over 390m at this track. Flying lately and looks a key chance on that form. PHOENIX RED (7) comes here off a freshen-up and must be included.

Good effort to win last start by over 390m at Warrnambool in a handy (22.47), beating Saint Finnie. Will find this a bit tougher, good win recently but others preferred.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Warragul over 400m. Last start finished 7th on August 25 over 400m at Warragul behind Here Comes Billy beaten 9 lengths (22.96) in a Grade 5 FIN. Looks a strong winning hope.

Returns from a ten weeks spell after being tipped out on the back of a fifth (22.63) over 390m at Warrnambool. Has ability and worth including.
