Ballarat Race 14

Prize Money: $1,530

BONE SHAKER (1) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (22.73) in a Grade 5 at Shepparton. Has a good record here including four wins. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. NALA'S MANTIS (5) settled down midfield and held her position to the line when finishing 4th (24.56) at Bendigo. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. SOLAR JESSIE (6) was narrowly beaten when placing two back but missed the frame latest finishing sixth (22.60) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 at Warrnambool. Expected to bounce back to best. NORTON BALE (2) cannot be ruled out.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished 5th on October 22 over 390m at Shepparton behind Pay Up Sally beaten 5.5 lengths (22.73) in a Grade 5. The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.
