Ballarat Race 9

Happy Horse Produce

Prize Money: $1,740

ASTON ALLURE (4) is racing well without winning, recording three minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when third (35.24) over 600m at The Meadows. Ready to find winning form. BOOTLEG TOMMY (7) has a fair record and proved too strong last time to win by half a length at Bendigo in a handy 28.80 beating Pocket Riot. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Leading chance again. LARNI LOU (2) has a strong record here including two wins from three starts. In the money last time at Warrnambool (26.08) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5, finishing a neck second. Looks suited here and can measure up. MR. BLUEY LEE (8) can run a bold race on best form.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 500m at Bendigo. Will not find this easy. Not keen.

Finished second last time (26.08) over 450m at Warrnambool. Drawn close to the inside. Has ability and should run well.

Comments

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (35.24) at The Meadows over 600m. Should be right in the finish.
