Ballarat Race 8

Ballarat Function Centre

Prize Money: $2,925

PAW LEON (4) racing well without winning, placing at his last five runs. Last start finished 3rd in a Grade 4/5 on February 4 over 450m at this track behind Regal Huxley beaten 3 lengths (25.57). Goes well out of this box with a win and four minor placings. Overdue and is among the main hopes. CONCRETE KAOS (2) missed the frame last time when fourth (25.91) at Warrnambool but prior to that had two placings in a row. Has a good record at this journey. Leading chance. PAW WELKES (8) boasts a strong record this course with three wins and two minors from nine tries. In the money last time at this track (25.62) in a Restricted WIN H, finishing a 7 length third. Looks a key chance on best figures. PAW CORNELIUS (1) comes into calculations after placing most recently.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when second (25.76) over 450m at Warrnambool. Drops down the inside box this time. Worth including.

Comments

Showed strong early pace and stuck on well despite finishing out of the placings when fourth over 450m Warrnambool in 25.91. Had been in strong form, hitting the frame two times on end, before the latest effort. Can atone.

Hit the frame latest (25.57) when third at this track in a Grade 4/5. Has performed well off the draw with a win and four places from seven starts. Expected to go close.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 450m at this track. Not likely to feature on this occasion.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and tends to spot them a start in her races, Last start finished sixth over 500m at Bendigo, beaten 14 lengths. Happy enough to avoid.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish third (25.62) at this track over 450m. Has been thereabouts of late and is among the chances.
