Ballarat Race 12

Two More Races To Go

Prize Money: $3,360

SOLICIT (1) was below best last time at Sale (24.81) in a Grade 5 FIN, finishing a 12 length fourth. Has two wins already from this draw. Expected to be in the finish. TORNADO TAHLIA (5) hit the frame latest (22.19) when third at this track in a Grade 4/5. Has two wins already from this draw. Looks well placed here and among the chances. FABIO GIBLET (8) struggled to get involved last start at Sale, but prior to that won comfortably by 3.5 lengths at this track (22.29) beating Big Cone Tone in a Grade 5 on June 18. Should be about the money. TRICKY DISCO (4) can sneak into the finish.

Didn't make the placings last time at Sale (24.81) in a Grade 5 FIN, finishing a 12 length fourth. Goes very well off the draw boasting two wins and three places from five starts. Leading chance.

Good effort to win last start by half a length over 390m at this track in a handy (22.56), beating Paw Kattia. Will find this a bit tougher, can't recommend against this lot.

Didn't finish two back and couldn't make the frame last time when she finished last on May 20 over 400m at Geelong behind Whizbang Josie beaten 14 lengths (24.16) in a Grade 5. Safely held last time and looking to others.
