Ballarat Race 12

Ballarat Greys Bingo Every Sunday

Prize Money: $1,530

LILY CRACKERS (1) stalked the lead from a middle draw and boxed on well to finish 3 lengths back in second (22.50) at Warrnambool in a Grade 5 over 390m. Makes plenty of appeal. ASTON SINATRA (5) stalked the lead after a clean break from the tricky draw and went on to finish second (22.59) at Warrnambool in a Grade 5 over 390m. Form from his last run is proving strong. Can feature again. KIRWAN (3) was in the money again last time and not beaten far when third (22.66) at this track in a Grade 5. Can turn it around this time. TESSA ORCHID (2) is in form and worth thought again.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 22.50 over 390m at Warrnambool. Found one better last time. Well placed and worth following up.

Solid performance after racing just off the speed to win by 1.5 lengths at this track over 390m (22.57) beating Here For Glory in Grade 5 on January 13. This appears within her reach.

Showed brilliant pace early and gave a sight when a 6 length third over 390m this track in 22.66. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.

Hit the ground running with a fast early sectional but found one better when runner up over 390m at Warrnambool clocking 22.59. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.

Hit the frame latest (24.68) when third at Bendigo in a Grade 5. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minors. Others appear better placed.
