Ballarat Race 9

Gcv #13Strong

Prize Money: $2,925

LAID BACK LASS (7) goes very well here starting nine times for four wins and four minors. Comes off a (22.36) win last time, scoring by 1.5 lengths in a Grade 5 over 390m at Warrnambool. Looks a key chance on best form. TOUCH OF SIN (8) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (22.32) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Solid formlines coming through her last run. Great chance to atone. CHANTILLY'S STAR (4) jumped wide and had a clear run last start, leading all the way to score (22.41) at Warrnambool in a Grade 5 over 390m. Got the money at her only try from this box. Sure to measure up. PAW LARRY (5) placed at long odds last time and cannot be ignored.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 390m at Warrnambool. Will be tested in this company.

Had a low draw last time over 460m at Geelong but was in traffic and failed to finish. Returns here after a three-and-a-half months spell. Has ability but tough line-up here and happy to watch this time.

Caught the eye with a fast early split last time and setting up a 0.9 lengths win at Warrnambool over 390m in 22.41, making it two wins on end. Can bring up a hat-trick.

Finished third last start (24.96) at big odds over 435m at Sale. Drawn awkwardly. Cannot be ruled out.

Hit the ground running and set it up early clocking 22.36 with a 1.5 lengths win at Warrnambool over 390m. Looks the one to beat again.

Latest effort finished 4th on December 24 over 390m at this track behind Impel beaten 6 lengths (22.32) in a Grade 5. Comes through a good form race. Looks a top chance.
