Ballarat Race 5 - A1 Signage (1-2 Wins)

NUDGE UNIT (2) was out of the placings last time but before that was an impressive winner (17.42) in a Grade 6 at Mt Gambier. Will find this more suitable and can atone. AUSSIE RAVEN (1) goes very well at this course having never missed the frame including two wins. Missed the frame latest (20.07) when eighth over 350m at Healesville in a T3 Grade 6. Can hit the frame with the right run. RAVEN XANDER (3) is a talented type and proved too strong last time to win by 1.75 lengths at Bendigo in a handy 24.16 beating Greysynd Bonnie. Can go close again if runs up to latest figure. BILLY DRIFTER (7) is worth consideration.

Placed only run here over this trip. Latest effort finished last on January 23 over 350m at Healesville behind Somerton Willow beaten 5.5 lengths (20.07) in a T3 Grade 6. Capable of improvement on latest effort. Well placed and should feature.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Mt Gambier over 305m. Last start finished 5th over 390m at this track beaten 6 lengths (22.87) behind Abracadabra in a T3 Grade 6 on February 2. Looks a strong winning hope.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 0.8 lengths second (25.93) over 450m at this track. Capable of a good showing.
