Ballarat Race 2 - Download The Watchdog App
PAW LAPRAS (8) was quickly into stride and burnt early from the middle draw where she gave a sight, finishing second (25.48) and beaten a neck over 450m at this track. Top prospect. YALE LUMPY (1) is a first starter by Shima Shine out of Trending Yale with no trial form to work with. Drawn to get every chance. Respect any moves in the market. WHAT CLASS (2) finished in the minors last time when second (25.79) at Warrnambool making it two minors from two runs. Overdue for a win and rates a key chance this line-up. PAW KABUTO (5) has ability and finds the right scenario to bounce back.

Well bred first race starter by Shima Shine from Trending Yale. He looks suitably boxed. Profiles strongly and can measure up.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Produced a good effort last start to finish second on July 9 over 450m at Warrnambool behind Georgina Rose, beaten 3 lengths (25.79) in a Maiden. Top-three hope with the right run.

Hit the ground running with a fast early sectional but found one better when runner up over 450m at this track clocking 25.48. In the money last time and looks well placed to go one better.
