Ballarat Race 6

Tudor Electrical

Prize Money: $2,925

SECRET JOKER (6) is better than last start when seventh (26.48) in a Grade 5 FIN at Warragul over 460m. Has a good record at this journey. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Worth another chance. ASTON NATIONAL (4) ran below his best last time finishing fourth (25.71) over 450m at this track in a Grade 4/5. Has a good record at this journey. Cannot be taken lightly. KOPACKI RIT (1) wasn't far away at the finish when 4th and beaten only 4 lengths (24.17) at Bendigo. Solid record here at this trip including two wins. Has never been out of the placings from two starts out of this box. Can measure up this time. SILVER MACK (2) cannot be ruled out.
