Ballarat Race 5 - Ballarat Tier 3 Cup Prelude 10
BIG WEEKEND (8) comes off an average run last start when sixth at Geelong over 400m behind Aston Grandeur (23.34) in a Rank Limit - Grade 6. Has ability and is one of the better chances. SHE REACTS (2) was in the minors two back (31.64) at this track but ran below best last time at Healesville, finishing 6th. Can do much better this time. PAW WYLDER (7) has claims fresh from a recent placing at this track and distance.

Could only manage sixth last time but the start prior hit the frame when second (31.64) over 545m at this track. Has a low draw and is worth plenty of thought.

Latest effort finished 6th in a Rank Limit - Grade 6 on August 4 over 400m at Geelong behind Aston Grandeur beaten 12 lengths (23.34). Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.
