Ballarat Race 10

Gap (1-3 Wins)

Stake: $3,510

PAW WONDER (1) stalked the lead and fought on well to finish 5.5 lengths away in third (24.46) at Bendigo in a Grade 5 over 425m. Likely to feature again. MIDNIGHT JED (5) was below best at his last start when 8th at Bendigo following a third place finish (28.59) there two back. Hard to go past form here at this journey. Has the ability to give this a shake. MOOKAITE (4) was in the placings last time but prior to that he produced a blistering 19.24 win over 350m at Healesville. Rates a leading chance if runs up to recent winning time. SHEIKH OF TWEAK (2) finished in the placings last start and deserves some thought.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished 3rd in a Grade 5 on August 7 over 425m at Bendigo behind Tropic Sands beaten 5.5 lengths (24.46). Has been around the mark at his last couple and should make his presence felt.

Good effort last time when third (22.70) over 390m at Warrnambool. Drawn close to the inside. Solid top-three prospects.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Healesville over 350m. Last start finished 3rd in a Mix 6/7 FIN on August 9 over 350m at Healesville behind Jetty Jumper beaten 2 lengths (19.57). Looks a strong winning hope.

Missed the frame last start when a 14 length eighth (28.95) at Bendigo. Previous form sound including a win three back at this track. Rates strongly and can return to winning form.

Nearing another win after claiming her maiden success on July 11 at this track over 390m. Last start was third over 450m in 25.82, behind Suntory Eve. Looks a solid hope.
