Ballarat Race 12

Two More Races To Go

Stake: $1,652

TWO BAYS (8) is mixing form and out of the placings last time but was a Grade 5 winner three starts ago and moves to Box 8 this time where he has performed well. Can make amends this time. ASTON RYAN (2) drew this same box last time when in the minors (22.57) in a Special conditions H over 390m at Warrnambool. Expecting another bold showing. PAW VALENTINA (6) took the sit on the lead but levelled up to score (22.63) at this track in a Grade 5 over 390m. Should be in this for a long way. VINNY DEWALT (1) can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Showed strong early pace and stuck on well despite finishing out of the placings when fourth over 400m Geelong in 22.91. Rates among the chances this time.

Looks close to another win after his success on February 17 at this track over 450m. Last start was third over 390m in 22.57, behind Naughty Norm. Comes through a solid form race. Expected to feature.

Strong performance after racing just off the speed to win by 1.5 lengths at Warrnambool over 390m (22.77) beating Lucy Jane in Special conditions H on April 21. Can't recommend him in this.

Missed the frame last start when a 6 length fifth (23.00) at this track. Previous form sound including a win three back at Geelong. Looks a strong place chance on best figures.
