Ballarat Race 4 - Sportsbet Ht2
PAW PRYDI (7) placed in a Grade 7 when a 1.1 lengths second this course and distance last time in a personal Best Time (22.06) and also clocked one of the quickest times on the card. Has the ability and expected to go close. MAXIMUM SUNSET (8) looks close to win after hitting the frame last run (22.66) at this track in a Grade 6. Has first look at box 8 this time. Leading chance. AUSSIE STRIKE (3) was safely held last time out, finishing seventh at Healesville over 300m behind Fernley Girl (17.41) in a Mix 6/7. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. THREE VOTES NICK (2) hit the frame here last time and looks a chance again.

Form has been good with a placing two starts ago and a win three runs back. Last time out finished 2nd over 390m at this track beaten 4.5 lengths (22.28) behind Sophie Banjo in a Restricted WIN on April 22. Thereabouts at his last couple and is capable of better.

Returns from a nine weeks spell and hit the frame when last resuming, finishing second over 400m at Geelong. Expected to bounce right back. Hard to beat.

Has hit the frame at her last three runs, the latest finishing second at big odds in 23.60 at Horsham. Drawn awkwardly. Others preferred.

Did a good job two starts back at Shepparton to win by 1.75 lengths in 22.47, beating Smart As Rose. Last start finished 5th on April 24 over 425m at Bendigo behind Callahan beaten 6 lengths (24.48) in a Mix 6/7. Likely to find this a bit tough.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 1.1 lengths second at this track but did record a hot 22.06 for the 390m trip. Can measure up with a repeat of that effort.

Turned in a good run last time, placing (22.66) at this track in a Grade 6. Lines up from box 8 for the first time. Makes strong appeal.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 525m at The Meadows. Can't recommend against this lot.
