Ballarat Race 5 - Southern Sheetmetal
GAS LANTERN (1) pinged the lids from out wide but run ended and faded out of it late when 5th at this track in Mix 3/4 company. Form here at the trip sound including seven wins. The form out of last race has been strong. Has ability and is a key runner. ANCHOR CRANKER (5) was in the minors two back (23.53) at Horsham but ran below best last time there, finishing 6th. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and three minor placings to her credit. Expected to feature in the finish. PAW AMARAN (2) has some solid form under his belt and proved too strong last time to win by half a length at Warrnambool in a handy 22.46 beating Xisan Bale. Leading chance again. PAW KARA (8) placed last time out so worth considering.

Solid performance after racing just off the speed to win by a long neck at this track over 390m (22.35) beating Chatter Beast in Grade 5 on March 30. Prefer to watch at this stage.

Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish sixth (23.68) at Horsham over 410m. Has run slick time here with a 22.26 PB at the distance. Go close.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Shepparton over 390m. Last start finished 2nd in a Grade 5 on April 2 over 390m at Warrnambool behind Mischief Mate beaten 6 lengths (22.81). In form and another win would not surprise.
