Ballarat Race 2 - A1 Signage
PAW GUSTO (4) was the fastest winner on the program last time out, running away to score by 2 lengths (21.90) at this track. Looks to have an edge on most of these. PAW ORENTHAL (7) jumps from box 7 again after finishing a 8 length third (23.04) last time at Warragul over 400m. Harder here but expected to measure up. PAW ALIA (8) was a big winner in quick time then came home hard into second and beaten a nose at Warrnambool (22.62) last time. The form out of last race has been strong. Can measure up. ASTON OSTUNI (5) scored with plenty to spare last time. Hard to beat again.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 300m at Healesville. Prepared to overlook.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 435m at Sale. Others make more appeal.

Eye-catching performance leading throughout to score by 2 lengths in a Grade 7 last start at this track, clocking an outstanding 21.90 for the 390m trip. In form and looks tough to beat again.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 22.62 over 390m at Warrnambool. Strong form emerging from the last run. Looks one of the chances.
