Ballarat (G) Race 9

Happy Horse Produce

Prize Money: $2,925

THOR LEGEND (5) has some solid form under his belt and proved too strong last time to win by 2 lengths at this track in a handy 25.41 beating Pyrenees Express. Looks the testing material. VICKY'S FURY (6) comes off a swift 25.30 placing at this track over 450m. Expecting another bold showing. PAW KABUTO (2) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (25.66) at Warrnambool behind Paw Hazelton in a Grade 5. Stalked the pace but found the line strongly. Expected to feature. ELEVATE (8) is worth consideration after filling a hole at big odds last start.

Showed good improvement when third behind Paw Hazelton at Warrnambool last start over 450m (25.66). Good beginner who shouldn't be far away in the run.

Comments

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 1.75 lengths third (25.95) over 460m at Geelong. Has ability and among the chances.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
