Ballarat Race 14

Prize Money: $2,925

BLACK XENA (3) ran below best last time finishing sixth (22.70) over 390m at Shepparton from Box 2. The form out of last race has been strong. Should be very hard to beat this time. BLAME KARISSA (2) crossed over from out wide last start before finishing second (22.46) at this track in a Grade 5 over 390m. The form out of last race has been strong. Hard to beat again. COMPARE JOE (1) can keep on winning after a head turning last start success, getting around the 400m at Warragul in 22.56. Top win latest and rates a key player again. ZIPPING LILO (8) is always a threat when she draws this box.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Warragul over 400m in 22.56 last start, beating Spring Queue. Likes the rails so can make it back to back wins.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when second (22.39) over 390m at Warrnambool. Awkwardly drawn and will need the right run to feature.

Good effort to win last start by 1.5 lengths over 425m at Bendigo in a handy (24.12), beating Dim Sim Ollie. Will find this a bit tougher, hard to recommend this time.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (22.74) at big odds over 390m at Shepparton. Has a wide draw to navigate and appears tested on latest effort.
