Ballarat Race 5 - A1 Signage (1-2 Wins)

MAXIMUM RUBY (1) is worth forgiving for her last effort when fourth (26.04) at Warrnambool over 450m. Has ability and looks hard to stop. JUST AN ASSASSIN (8) is worth forgiving last start after finishing fourth (22.65) in a Restricted WIN at this track over 390m. Should play a prominent role. CRUISIN' POPPY (7) was game in defeat at the latest run, finishing third and beaten one length (26.23) behind Aston Moss at Geelong. Expected to be in this for a long way.
