Ballarat Race 13

Prize Money: $2,925

ASTON VALHALLA (1) was quickly into stride and burnt early from out wide where she gave a sight, finishing third (24.14) and beaten 3.5 lengths over 425m at Bendigo. Form from her last run is proving to be solid. Likely to be in the finish again. HOW AWESOME (2) comes here following a placing in handy time (22.19) over 390m at Warrnambool. Smart time latest and looks a key chance on that form. PACKHAM PUNCH (7) resumed in a Grade 5 at this track and finished fifth over 390m (22.30). Will strip fitter for the run. Cannot be taken lightly. ASTON SUNSHINE (8) is always a threat when she races at this journey.

Has hit the frame the last couple. Finished third at Bendigo latest but prior to that recorded a speedy 24.05 over 425m finishing second at Bendigo. Looks the one to beat on run two back.

Showed strong pace early but found one better when a 1.5 lengths second over 390m Warrnambool in 22.19. Fought on last time. Right in the mix again.

Was out of placings last time (22.70) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and five minors. Among the main chances.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won by 0.6 lengths at this track (22.45) beating Silent Bandit in a Mix 6/7 on October 14. Needs to find a bit more.

Strong performance to win by 0.7 lengths at Geelong over 400m (22.83) beating Aston Chant in Grade 4/5 on October 13. Good win recently but others preferred.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 5th over 390m at this track beaten 6 lengths (22.30) behind Maximum Sunset in a Grade 5 on October 21. Placed two back at Grafton. Has been racing well. Well placed here and looks a leading contender.

Could only manage seventh last time but the start prior hit the frame when second (24.24) over 425m at Bendigo. Is among the better hopes.
