Ballarat Race 12

One More Race To Go

Prize Money: $1,530

HARTLAND BUDDY (4) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing eighth (31.31) last time in a Grade 5 at The Meadows. Ready to return to form. ASTON EXCESS (2) doesn't have the best strike-rate but recent form is sound. Finished in the minors last time when third (22.52) at Warrnambool making it back to back placings. Form at the trip sound including three wins. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Bold showing expected. INGA JOKER (1) missed the frame latest when seventh at Warrnambool (23.24) but scored five back at Warrnambool (22.43). Goes well out of this box with a win and two minor placings. Better than last start and can bounce back. CHOW MEIN (3) is worth another chance despite missing the top-three here most recently.

Could only manage seventh last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when third (22.67) over 390m at Warrnambool. Aided by the inside draw but prefer each-way.

Latest effort finished last on October 21 over 525m at The Meadows behind Wyong Houston beaten 11 lengths (31.31) in a Grade 5. Happy to overlook recent performances. Well placed and gets chance to find best.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage seventh last time out over 425m at Bendigo. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.
