Ballarat Race 13

Prize Money: $1,530

HARTLAND PRINCE (6) turned spotting a big start finishing fifth (22.79) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Form here at the trip sound including two wins. Has winning claims on his best figures. HARTLAND DUKE (2) jumped from this box last time and also the same course and distance when a 9 length third (22.99) in a Grade 5. Worth another try. BOROUGH MAN (1) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame from Box 2 last run (22.86) at this track. Goes very well from this draw with three wins and two minor placings from seven starts. Can measure up. BURRA BRICE (3) is not to be discarded.

Could only manage fifth last time but the start prior hit the frame when third (17.32) over 300m at Healesville. Has a low draw and is worth plenty of thought.

Didn't make the placings last time at Bendigo (24.73) in a Grade 5, finishing a 1.3 lengths sixth. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Will need some luck to feature.
