Ballarat Race 8

Town & Country Line Marking

Prize Money: $3,360

PAW ROXY (6) is generally an honest type in the frame at 13 of 34 starts but missed the placings last time when fourth (22.40) over 390m at this track. Has the ability and looks a key chance this line-up. PAW XENA (2) stalked the lead from a middle box and kept coming to win (22.18) at this track in Grade 5 over 390m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Will go close again if runs up to latest. ASTON WALKER (7) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by a long neck at The Meadows in a handy 30.32 beating Leon's Entity. Unbeaten from this box in two starts. Leading player again. IMANI (1) racing over this distance brings the best out in her.

Comments

Was sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 1.2 lengths fourth (29.69) over 515m at Sandown. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Comments

Strong performance after tracking the speed to win by 0.9 lengths at this track over 390m (22.18) beating Tinker Dot in Grade 5 on May 7. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 460m at Warragul. Needs to find a bit more.

Good effort last time when second (25.91) over 450m at this track. Awkward draw to overcome. Looking to others.

Missed the frame latest (22.40) when fourth over 390m at this track in a Grade 5. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from three starts. Makes strong appeal.

Drawn the outside box and could be suited with some luck. Goes ok at this track and distance but recent form not good enough, can't recommend against this lot.
