Ballarat Race 14

Stake: $3,393

SUMO SMASH (3) has been hard to follow lately, running sixth (23.41) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at this track. Looks suited here and big improvement expected. KAIA GOT SQUARE (6) produced a modest effort most recently when seventh at Sandown over 515m behind Handsome Ratio (30.59) in a Grade 5. Placed at her previous run. Can do much better this time. ZIVA BALE (8) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (22.40) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Has a good record here at this journey. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. HARLOW'S BOY (4) has ability and finds the right scenario to bounce back.

Didn't make the placings last time at Warragul (23.41) in a Special conditions H, finishing a 5 length sixth. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and three minors. Has ability and should feature.

Missed the frame latest (22.40) when fourth over 390m at this track in a Grade 5. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and four places from 11 starts. Has ability and should be around the money.
