Ballarat Race 5 - A1 Signage (1-2 Wins)
SCOTT VICIOUS (6) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, rewarded with a win last time at Shepparton over 450m. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from four attempts. Can make it two on the bounce. SHE'S NOWHERE (2) ran good time (25.82) winning a Bottom Up - Grade 7 at Warrnambool when jumping from this same box. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. NOVEMBER CHARGE (1) has mixed form a little and missed the frame the last two but was a Maiden winner three back (22.72) at this track over 390m. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. SPRUIKING (8) is not to be discarded.

Drawn the inside alley. At the last start finished last on April 13 over 390m at this track behind Rumbling Rose beaten 11 lengths (23.26) in a T3 RSTW. Looks a solid hope.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Warrnambool over 450m in 25.82 last start, beating Reiko Zoom. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in that last win. Stay with her.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (23.12) over 400m at Geelong. Drawn close to the inside. Prefer others.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Shepparton over 390m in 22.56. Followed that up with a minor placing over 460m at Warragul at Rank Limit - Restricted Win four days ago. Prepared to risk this time.
