Ballarat Race 8

Town & Country Line Marking

Stake: $1,698

PAW CHEYENNE (8) comes into this as a quickest on the card winner last time at Shepparton, scoring by 2.75 lengths (25.45). Rates on top again. TINKER PAT (3) doesn't win out of turn but looks close to breaking through. Has finished in the placings two on end now, the latest when second (25.82) at Warrnambool. Solid record here at the distance winning two races. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Winning chance. BERN'S BANJO (1) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (25.82) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Solid record at the distance winning three races. Comes through a solid form race last start. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. SMILING BEE (2) should be thereabouts.

Sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional and went on to clock 25.45 in a 2.75 lengths win at Shepparton over 450m. Can make it back to back wins.
