Ballarat Race 12 - Two More Races To Go
SERENITY GIRL (1) missed the frame latest when sixth at this track (22.81) but scored four back at this track (22.44). Has a good record here at this journey. Form from her last run is proving strong. Has ability and can bounce back. NICKY'S SECRET (2) comes off an average run last start when fifth at this track over 390m behind Tinker Dot (22.83) in a Grade 5. Key runner who gets her chance to atone. ASTON CURRENCY (7) comes off an average effort last start when seventh at this track over 390m behind Flying Damiro (22.77) in a Grade 5. Was a winner prior to that. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Leading chance. SWANKY CHIC (6) generally performs well from this box.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 6th over 390m at this track beaten 5.5 lengths (22.81) behind Paw Pascal in a Grade 5 on February 7. The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.

Backs up after winning by 2.25 lengths at Shepparton (22.49) beating Sugar Shine in a Grade 5 on February 12 four days ago. Likely to find this a lot tougher and she needs to find another gear.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage eighth last time out over 390m at this track. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 2 lengths in 22.59, beating Rabada. Last start finished 7th in a Grade 5 on February 7 over 390m at this track behind Flying Damiro beaten 8 lengths (22.77). Capable of taking this out.

Could only manage fifth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when third (17.12) over 300m at Healesville. Tough draw to overcome and will need the right run to feature.
