Ballarat Race 8 - Ballarat Function Centre

PAW ORTIZ (8) is racing well without winning, recording six minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a scorching early sectional but finishing in the minors again over 525m at Wagga, clocking 30.00. Goes very well from this draw with two wins and two minor placings from five starts. Likely to be in the finish again. PAW XHANI (4) recorded a neck win (25.62) in a Grade 5 last time at Warrnambool. Already a winner from this draw. Looks well placed here and among the chances. LOCO BOOM (2) has a strong record this journey with two wins and a minor from four starts. Scored by a neck last time (30.45) in a Grade 5 over 525m at The Meadows. Suited here and expected to run well. HAPPY AND NUMB (3) pinged the lids and wasn't headed last time. Must be respected.

Flew the lids with a strong early split and led throughout to score an impressive win by a neck over 450m at Warrnambool (25.62). The one to beat again.

Found the going tougher last start when third over 450m at Warrnambool. That followed a win two back in 30.28 beating Paw Irulan over 525m at The Meadows. Narrowly beaten last time but this will test.
