Ballarat Race 13

Stake: $1,683

AUDITION (1) is better than last start when eighth (26.44) from Box 3 at Shepparton over 450m. Better than last start and worth following up. HARTLAND DUKE (2) boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten half a length (22.71) behind Global Hero at Shepparton. Leading player again. NITRO BALE (7) gets a chance to improve on an unplaced run at his latest outing at this circuit.
