Ballarat Race 9

Sweet Netty's Catering (300+ Rank)

Stake: $1,652

LEKTRA HANK (6) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by 4.5 lengths at Warrnambool in a handy 22.31 beating Bush Profit. Ran the fastest time on the program in his latest win. Well placed and will be tough to beat. ASTON MONSOON (1) had been racing well with a Mix 6/7 win three back then placed next time before missing the frame latest at Geelong. Can turn it around this time. MAJOR LIGHTYEAR (8) recorded her best time this course and distance last start, taking a Mix 6/7 in 22.35 by 2 lengths. Top win latest and rates a key player again. LAURA MAY (7) was out of the money at this circuit last start but can make amends.

Missed the frame last start when fourth and beaten 6 lengths at Geelong. Form solid prior to that including a win at Geelong three back. Rates strongly and can return to winning form.
