Ballarat Race 1

Sportsbet Fast Form (275+ Rank)

Stake: $1,652

STILTON SWIRL (7) scored her first victory last start at Warrnambool over 390m (22.40). Has hit winning form and can go on with it. SALEENA BALE (1) turned in a plain effort last time when fifth at this track over 390m behind Salty Snoop (23.67) in a Grade 7. Strong form has emerged from her last run. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. ANCHOR CRANKER (3) turned in a better effort at Warrnambool last start, finishing third behind Federal Player (22.45) in a Mix 6/7. Settled off speed and worked to the line nicely. Expected to feature again. ELLIOT NOVA (2) is new to this course but can play a major role.
