Ballarat Race 6

Life Members Trophy (250+Rank) Ht2

Stake: $1,775

DOONGALLA FLASH (5) was a last-start winner from box one at Shepparton and distance (25.60) after charging straight to the lead, scoring by 5 lengths. Can make it two on the bounce. DAD'S SURPRISE (8) finished well back at Sandown last time when a 8 length fifth (30.09) but scored three back at Shepparton (25.84). Has a very good strike-rate from this draw, with five wins from nine starts. Key runner who gets her chance to atone. PAW VERITY (7) was narrowly beaten when placing two back but missed the frame latest finishing fifth (22.44) in a Grade 5 at Warrnambool. Expected to bounce back to best. ASTON HEDLAND (4) is hard to fault of late and is a strong top-three hope again.

Missed the frame last start when fifth and beaten 5.5 lengths at Warrnambool. Form solid prior to that including a win at this track three back. Tough field and looking to others this time.

Good effort to win last start by a neck over 460m at Geelong in a handy (26.03), beating No More Extras. In line for a hat-trick. Must include.

Flew the lids with a strong early split and led throughout to score an impressive win by 5 lengths over 450m at Shepparton (25.60). Looks the one to beat again.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 5th in a Grade 5 on February 19 over 390m at Warrnambool behind Ultimo beaten 5.5 lengths (22.44). Placed two back at Geelong. Well placed and among the chances here.
