Ballarat Race 9

Rsn Grey Areas - Wednesday & Friday

Stake: $1,698

PAW QUEBEC (2) was prominent early from the tricky draw and did a fair job to be beaten 1.75 lengths into second (22.05) at Shepparton in a T3 Grade 7 over 390m. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Good form should continue. SMOOTH TIGER (5) used the inside draw to advantage last time and hit the ground running with a fast early split, paving the way for a 1.5 lengths win at this track over 390m in 22.87. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Deserves serious consideration again. ASTON DENTON (1) looks close to another win after finishing third last time (22.69) in a T3 Grade 7 at this track. Expected to be in the finish again. PAW DENVER (3) can find the frame without surprising.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 6 length third over 390m at this track, clocking 22.69. Rates highly on best form. Expected to feature.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 1.75 lengths second at Shepparton but did record a hot 22.05 for the 390m trip. Rates a top chance with a repeat here.

Form has been strong, including a victory two starts back. Last time out finished 2nd in a T3 Grade 7 on February 10 over 390m at this track behind Magic Tigeress beaten 1.5 lengths (22.78). Fought on last time. Right in the mix again.
