Ballarat Race 13 - Ballarat Race 13
AUSSIE STRIKE (7) has a strong record this trip with three wins and three placings from eight starts. Placed last time (22.30) at Warrnambool in a Grade 5, finishing third and beaten a neck. Looks suited here and rates on top. WESTERN'S NASIAH (2) shapes well after a strong run last time, finishing second in a Grade 5 at Healesville in 16.66. In form and must include in calculations. PAW VERITY (1) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing seventh (24.92) in a Grade 5 at Sale. Solid record here winning two races. Some good form is emerging from her last run. Great chance to atone. WESTSIDE WIZARD (8) is not to be discarded.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 1.3 lengths second (16.66) over 300m at Healesville. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last time. Follow up.

Good effort to win last start by 2.5 lengths over 390m at this track in a handy (22.40), beating Tinker Dot. Will find this a bit tougher, likely to struggle this time.

Disappointed last time but just missed the placings two back over 305m at Mt Gambier. Will be tested in this company.

Safely held last time over 390m at this track but was a neck winner two back over 400m at Geelong. Didn't show up last start but give her another chance.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a neck third over 390m at Warrnambool, clocking 22.30. The last run is a strong form reference. Follow up.
