Ballarat Race 9

Alsop And Co Catering

Prize Money: $3,360

WYONG DALLAS (3) is back from a seven months break after failing to finish last time but prior to that was a Special conditions race winner in quick time (29.32) at Sandown. Rates strongly on best and well worth another try. SLICK TOMMY (1) missed the frame and safely held latest finishing 8th at Bendigo following on from a win (25.83) at Geelong the start prior. The form out of last race has been strong. Should be about the money. ZIPPING ARVADA (7) was long overdue after four placings in a row before a deserved win (19.95) last time at Traralgon. Form here at the trip excellent including three wins. Meets a moderate line up and should run well. ASTON FONTAINE (6) impressed last start, winning in good time. Must include.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and tends to spot them a start in his races, Last start finished seventh over 460m at Geelong, beaten 16 lengths. Can't enthuse on this occasion.

Well supported last time and rocketed out of the boxes with a scorching early sectional, going on to clock 21.92 in a 4 length win at this track. Well performed from this box. In the mix.

Was among the placegetters latest at this track when a 2.75 lengths second but did clock a fast 22.17 over the 390m trip. Harder here and looks a place chance only.
