Ballarat Race 9

Southern Sheetmetal (1-2 Wins)

Stake: $1,867

PAW EZRA (8) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fifth (22.75) last time in a Bottom Up - Restricted Win at Shepparton. Should be very hard to beat this time. DARE DEVIL (4) finds it hard to break through. Finished in the money last time though when third (22.50) at Shepparton. Expecting another good run. ASTON COSMIC (1) is worth forgiving last start after finishing fifth (25.81) in a T3 RSTW at this track over 450m. Likely to be thereabouts. MAJOR LOSE (2) collected a minor prize last start over this track and distance - must be considered.

Turned in a good run last time, placing (22.64) at Shepparton in a Rank Limit - Restricted Win. Lines up from box 5 for the first time. Makes strong appeal on best.
