Ballarat Race 14

Prize Money: $1,530

CHALKY (2) turned in a moderate run last time when sixth at Geelong over 400m behind Pay Up Sally (23.63) in a Grade 5. The form from his last run stacks up well. Ready to return to form. JOHN BOY (1) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing sixth (23.15) in a Grade 5 at this track. One of the better chances. MAJOR ALLEN (7) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fourth (23.39) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 at Geelong. Solid record here winning two races. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Worth another chance. IT'S SOYSAGES (6) should be thereabouts despite an unplaced run here most recently.

Should get a clear run from the wide draw. Wasn't impressive last start but does have a great record at this track and distance, capable of taking this out.
