Ballarat Race 13

Prize Money: $3,360

NAUGHTY NORM (1) has a strong record this journey here with two wins and a minor from six starts. Missed the frame latest (22.52) when fifth over 390m at this track in a Free For All. Expected to be in the finish. BLACK STATESMAN (2) has gone well at his last couple of runs here, most recently when third beaten 3.5 lengths (22.23). Goes well out of this box with a win and three minor placings. Expected to feature again. COME AND SEE (4) was strongly fancied last time on the back of some good form but finished third (22.62) at Geelong. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. HOT SAKI (7) should be thereabouts after filling a top-three spot at big odds most recently.

Flew the lids with a sensational early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (22.62) over 400m at Geelong. More than capable and well placed to find her best form.

Recorded a head win (22.37) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 last time at Warrnambool. Yet to miss the placings in six runs from this box, including two wins. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Won two starts back at Warrnambool over 450m in 25.84. Followed that up with a minor placing over 450m at this track at Rank Limit - Grade 5 five weeks ago. Not likely to feature on this occasion.

Good effort to win last start by a neck over 425m at Bendigo in a handy (24.52), beating Sandy Cabang. Must be a winning chance again.
