Ballarat Race 6

Prize Money: $1,530

MORAINE DAMIAN (2) missed the frame latest when sixth at Bendigo (24.59) but scored five back at Horsham (23.32). The form from his last run stacks up well. Can atone. ONE FOR BILL (8) last start finished last in a Grade 5 on January 25 over 300m at Healesville behind Cheetah Moon beaten 4 lengths (17.05). Looks suited here and can measure up. FRED THE FOX (4) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (23.52) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 at Geelong. The form out of his last race has been franked. Has the ability to give this a shake. ARGYLE WHISKEY (6) form at this distance reads well.

Looks close to another win after her success on September 20 at Bendigo over 500m. Last start was fourth over 500m in 29.05, behind Argyle Axle. Should be around the mark.

Latest effort finished last in a Grade 5 on January 25 over 300m at Healesville behind Cheetah Moon beaten 4 lengths (17.05). Better than the last couple of runs suggest. Expected to do much better.
