Ballarat Race 2 - Pink Diamond Challenger Short Course Ht3
ASTON COOPER (2) is better than last start when fourth (22.51) from Box 4 at Shepparton over 390m. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. CONNOR'S FLYER (3) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by 2.75 lengths at this track in a handy 22.45 beating Major Franky. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. PRETTY PANAMA (8) should get a clear run from the wide draw. Safely held last start when a 4 length 6th at this track (26.09). Goes very well at course and distance boasting two wins. The form out of last race has been strong. Should be about the money. INSANE (7) is a last start winner worth following up.

Was out of the placings at final run of last campaign, finishing sixth (17.54) at Healesville before going for a ten months spell. Will need the run.

Charged out of the boxes with a fast early split and led throughout to score when a 2.75 lengths winner (22.45) over 390m at this track. Looks to have an edge on most of these.

Could only manage seventh last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when third (22.71) over 390m at this track. Tricky draw to overcome and prefer the place this line-up.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when second (25.69) over 450m at Warrnambool. Has to overcome a wide draw and looks safely held.

Good effort to win last start by 3.5 lengths over 400m at Geelong in a handy (22.68), beating Kraken Hook. Can go well again with the right run.

Should get a clear run from the wide draw. Wasn't impressive last start but does have a great record at this track and distance, well placed and among the chances here.
