Ballarat Race 13

Prize Money: $1,530

WHISKY POINT (5) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (23.00) last time in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 at Warrnambool. Has claims if he runs up to expectations. BONE SHAKER (8) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (24.59) at Bendigo behind Paw Wonder in a Grade 5. Has the pace to be prominent. Can measure up. CHOW MEIN (3) profiles nicely here at this trip.

Comments

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish third (22.87) at this track over 390m. Right in the mix here.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow fourth (22.77) over 390m at this track. Is a danger.

Looks close to another win after his success on September 23 at Bendigo over 425m. Last start was fourth over 390m in 23.00, behind Paw London. Should prove hard to beat.

Comments

Resumes from a nine weeks spell and was in the minors at only other fresh up run, finishing second over 400m at Geelong. Can bounce back. One of the main chances.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
