Ballarat Race 4

A1 Signage

Prize Money: $2,925

TENSION HEAD (3) turned in a moderate performance last time when eighth at Bendigo over 425m behind Tornado Tessa (24.97) in a Grade 5. Scored at his previous run. The form out of his last race has been franked. Worth another chance. HAPPY AND NUMB (2) was last seen getting around 390m at Shepparton in a decent 22.14 for a 2.75 lengths success. This tougher but expected to be in the finish. SUMO SMASH (1) had a tough draw to overcome and was game in defeat when only 1.1 lengths from Legacy Man in second (22.99) at Geelong. Can measure up. BUSH BIG SHOW (5) is always hard to beat when he races here at this trip.

Solid performance after racing just off the speed to win by 2.75 lengths at Shepparton over 390m (22.14) beating Hartland Buddy in Grade 5 on July 2. Goes very well from this draw including three wins. Leading player.

Has failed to fire at the last couple but he does have good record over this track and distance. Expect improvement on the latest effort. Great chance to atone.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last three starts. Last time out finished 2nd in a Grade 5 on July 4 over 400m at Geelong behind Tricky Disco beaten 6 lengths (23.10). Hard to have this time.

Good effort last time when third (22.94) over 390m at this track. Jumps from a wide draw. Will need plenty of luck.
