Ballarat Race 12

Two More Races To Go

Prize Money: $2,925

NIMBLE TOMMY (3) can keep on winning after useful last start success, claiming a Grade 5 at Geelong over 400m in 22.63. Top win latest and looms as the one to beat again. SWIFT VODKA (2) jumped from the pinch but quickly to the lead and gave a sight when second and beaten 0.9 lengths (25.67) at this track in a Grade 5 over 450m. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and four minor placings to her credit. Deserves a win and gets her chance. SCOTT ME (1) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at The Meadows behind Dimora Cruz (30.58) in a Grade 5. Has the pace to be prominent. Expected to be in the finish again. CAN'T PARK THERE (7) scored in impressive time last start. Right in the mix.

Hit the frame latest (25.67) when second at this track in a Grade 5. Has one win and four placings from seven starts from the draw. Looks a leading chance.

Flew the lids with a slick early split last time and went on to clock 22.63 as a strongly fancied winner over 400m at Geelong. In-form and measures right up. Hard to beat.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early split and went straight to the front, scoring an all the way win (24.25) over 425m at Bendigo. Should be around the mark.

Missed the frame last start when sixth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Has ability but this tough and looks a place chance at best.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
