Ballarat Race 6 - Ballarat Enduro Series Prelude 4
BLACK STAR RIOT (1) was the fastest winner on the program last time out, running away to score by 2.5 lengths (34.16) at Sandown. Looks the one to beat. VALENZUELA (2) missed the hat-trick last start when third and beaten 2.75 lengths (29.61) last time at Sandown. Bold showing expected. PAW WINDER (4) has been out of the placings last two but prior to that clocked a lightning 29.32 win over 512m at Mt Gambier. Has the ability and looks a key chance. REGAL SPENCER (6) can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Good effort to score just six days ago over 595m at Sandown by 2.5 lengths in a Grade 4/5. Yet to be beaten in four starts out of this box. Sure to go well.

Didn't make the placings last time at Sandown (29.75) in a Special conditions H, finishing a 3.5 lengths fourth. Yet to win but has placed four times from this draw. Suited here and expected to run well.

Has finished fourth at the last two runs, both at The Meadows, the latest when beaten 8 lengths behind Mepunga Phantom over 600m. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Good effort to win last start by 1.5 lengths over 545m at this track in a handy (30.88), beating Urana Xavier. Will find this a bit tougher, looks tested in this company.
