Ballarat Race 9 - Sportsbet Supporters Of Having A Crack

CHOW MEIN (1) caught the eye with a fast early split and setting up a 0.9 lengths win at this track over 390m in 22.51. Great chance to get the job done again. CHAPPY'S HIKARI (2) trailed the lead and fought on well to be beaten 5 lengths into third (26.45) at Geelong in a Bottom Up - Restricted Win over 460m. Bold showing expected. BAMBI'S PRIDE (8) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 8th at this track following on from a third place finish (22.57) there the start prior. Solid record here at the distance winning two races. Expected to run well. ASTON BENTLEY (3) warrants respect although new to this track.
