Ballarat Race 5

A1 Signage (1-4 Wins)

Prize Money: $1,740

OKAY ALF (7) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (25.84) last time in a T3 RSTW at this track. Can make amends. KIWI EDDIE (2) struggled to get involved last start after losing his position early at Healesville, but prior to that won by 1.3 lengths at this track (25.99) beating MYSTIC PHARAOH in a T3 RSTW on October 5. Expected to give a good account. GRASS IS GREENER (3) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (30.90) at The Meadows behind Vaporize in a Mix 6/7. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Expected to be in this for a long way. CRUISIN' POPPY (1) cannot be ruled out.

Comments

Didn't make the placings last time at Geelong (26.97) in a Rank Limit - Restricted Win, finishing a 16 length seventh. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Can hit the frame with the right run.

Ordinary effort last start when he was slow out over 350m at Healesville. Prior to that won by 1.3 lengths at this track (25.99) beating Mystic Pharaoh in a T3 RSTW on October 5. Key chance on best form.

Latest effort finished 4th over 450m at this track beaten 5 lengths (25.84) behind Vicky's Fury in a T3 RSTW on October 12. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.
