Ballarat Race 5 - Download The Watchdog App
SERENITY GIRL (2) was favourite last start and led all the way, scoring by a neck (22.58) at this track in a Grade 5 over 390m. Can go close again if runs up to latest figure. TINKER RAYS (3) finds it hard to win but looks close to breaking through. Has been in the minors the last two runs, the latest finishing second (22.97) at Geelong. Solid record here winning two races. Hard to beat again. DOOKIE GIBLET (1) finds it hard to break through. Better run when finding the frame last time though, finishing third (24.68) at Bendigo. Leading player again. CHALKY (7) can fill a top-three spot.

Looks close to another win after his success on February 21 at Bendigo over 425m. Last start was third over 425m in 24.68, behind As You Were. Rates highly and looks tough to beat.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 390m in 22.58 last start, beating Saint Raine. Looks well placed and should be tough to beat.

Was sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 3 length fifth (24.65) over 425m at Bendigo. Well placed and among the chances here.
