Ballarat Race 9

Sportsbet Maiden Final

Prize Money: $2,925

KEY BEGONIA (8) improved her time on first attempt this course and distance with a 3 length win in 25.84 here latest. Expected to go close again if runs up to latest. RIVERS MEET (3) broke through for his maiden success last time out at this track over 450m (25.88). Should be in this for a long way. IAN ALBERT (4) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (26.06) at this track behind KEY BEGONIA in a Maiden H. Has the pace to be prominent. Can measure up. AWESOME BINDI (1) should bounce back after an unplaced effort here recently.

Yet to break through in five starts, the latest result a fourth (26.35) over 450m at this track. Best form too good to ignore.

Ran a solid race on debut when settled well off the lead early but got home well to finish fourth (26.28) at this track over 450m. Should be further improved. Hard to have this time.
