Ballarat Race 3

A1 Signage (1-2 Wins)

Prize Money: $1,530

MAXIMUM PENALTY (4) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at this track over 390m behind Compare Bubble (22.92) in a Restricted WIN. Should be very hard to beat this time. EGO BALE (2) finished well back at this track last time when a 8 length fifth (26.13) but scored four back at this track (22.76). A forward showing wouldn't surprise. DELUSIONAL (1) ran below best last time finishing fourth (26.71) over 460m at Geelong from Box 8. Should play a prominent role. ZAK FLYER (7) is a chance after winning last time.
