Ballarat Race 2 - A1 Signage (1-2 Wins)
WEST END BOY (2) was well supported last time and gave a sight after a fast early split but could manage only the minor money, finishing a half a length second (23.12) over 400m at Warragul. Top chance in this line up. SASSY BELLE (1) has had a break of six months since finishing second (24.59) over 425m at Bendigo. This looks easier and expected to run well. CHOW MEIN (4) looks close to another win after finishing second last time (22.52) in a T3 Grade 7 at this track. Will give a great sight again. SUNTORY EVE (5) bold run expected on best form.

Well supported last time and rocketed out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but had to settle for the minor money, finishing a half a length second (23.12) over 400m at Warragul. Found one better last time. Well placed and worth following up.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage eighth last time out over 450m at this track. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Surprised on debut at Healesville to win by 0.8 lengths in 17.00, beating Scotch Dealer. Last start finished 5th on July 24 over 400m at Geelong behind Aston National beaten 8 lengths (23.00) in a Mix 6/7. Looks a solid hope.
