Ballarat Race 14

Prize Money: $1,530

YELLOW OCHRE (3) was in the minors two back (22.69) at this track but ran below best last time there, finishing 7th. Has a good record here at this journey. Has claims if she runs up to expectations. ZERO MONSTER (5) finds it hard to break through. Finished in the minors latest when second (24.67) at Bendigo and may be close to breaking through. Will give a great sight again. AGON CARAMEL (1) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (22.84) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. HARTLAND DUKE (2) picked up a cheque last time and is in the mix again.
