Ballarat Race 4

Gap (2-3 Wins)

Prize Money: $2,925

ZIPPING SPYRO (8) scored (25.29) last time out at this track adding to an already respectable career. Can continue the winning form. APTITUDE (3) has been in the frame at his last two runs, most recently when third (25.80) in a Mix 6/7 over 450m at this track. Can find the frame this time. THOR LEGEND (4) turned in a plain effort last time when fifth at this track over 450m behind Paw Kabuto (26.11) in a Grade 5. Was a winner the start prior. Form from his last run is proving strong. Should play a prominent role. IRISH ZOE (2) drops in distance and cannot be left out.

Could only manage fifth last time but the start prior hit the frame when third (25.99) over 460m at Geelong. Has the inside draw and in the mix on his best form.

Could only manage sixth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when third (30.51) over 525m at The Meadows. Has a low draw but will need everything to go her way.

Has hit the frame the last couple. Finished third at this track latest but prior to that clocked a solid 25.28 over 450m finishing second at this track. Can measure up if runs up to recent best times.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 450m. Last start finished 5th in a Grade 5 on October 29 over 450m at this track behind Paw Kabuto beaten 9 lengths (26.11). Strong form emerging from the that last run. Leading chance.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start by 0.8 lengths at Horsham (23.35) beating Commander King in a Mix 6/7 on October 28. Last run is a strong form reference. Worth following up.
