Ballarat Race 5

Prize Money: $1,530

RED NOSE (2) showed good early burn and was there until turning but swamped late to finish 7th at Horsham in a Grade 4/5. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Has ability and can bounce back. TRICK (8) boasts a strong record this journey with seven wins and six minors from 21 tries. Below best last time at Traralgon (21.30) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 18 length seventh. Looks a key chance on best figures. ELLIOT NOVA (3) turned in a modest effort most recently when seventh at Horsham over 410m behind Groot Bale (24.17) in a Grade 5. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Can do much better this time. PAW WARRINGAH (1) cannot be left out despite racing here for the first time.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last four starts. Last time out finished 2nd over 390m at Warrnambool beaten 2 lengths (22.57) behind Lektra Harmony in a Grade 5 on September 21. Has been thereabouts of late and is among the chances.

Last start finished last in a Grade 4/5 on September 22 over 410m at Horsham behind Poetic Star beaten 6 lengths (23.81). Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Has finished last in his last couple of starts, most recently at Horsham over 410m. Expect improvement on the latest effort. Great chance to atone.

Finished second last start (22.78) at big odds over 390m at this track. Tricky draw to overcome. Prefer others.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 350m at Healesville. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 7th over 350m at Traralgon beaten 18 lengths (21.30) behind Donkey Fly in a Grade 4/5 on September 25. Placed two back at Geelong. Goes very well from this draw including three wins. Leading player.
