Ballarat Race 6 - Ballarat To The Meadows Ht1
PAW RAYNOR (2) was prominent throughout when winning in one of the fastest times of the card two back but could manage only midfield last time when finished 5th and beaten 6 lengths at Sandown (29.76). Has a strong record out of this box with two wins and a minor placing from five starts. Has claims if he runs up to expectations. PAW CALLIE (5) was safely held last time out, finishing seventh at Shepparton over 450m behind Dave (26.88) in a Grade 5. Must be included in calculations. ANGRY CHIEF (1) stalked the lead from a low draw and fought on well to finish 0.8 lengths back in second (24.09) at Bendigo in a Grade 5 over 425m. Leading player again. BISCOTTINO (8) was strongly fancied last time on the back of a win two back but could only manage third (28.13) at Bendigo. The form from his last run stacks up well.

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 0.8 lengths second (24.09) over 425m at Bendigo and making it two placings on end. Close to the speed and boxed on well at the latest run. Key chance again.

Showed brilliant pace early and gave a sight when a 1.5 lengths third over 500m Bendigo in 28.13. Going better than form suggests. Don't underestimate.
