Ballarat Race 12 - Sportsbet Green Tick
SPRING QUEUE (4) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by 8 lengths at Warragul in a handy 22.90 beating Smooth Ranger. Looks to have an edge on most of these. ENERGISER DASH (1) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing fourth (22.87) in a Grade 5 at Warrnambool. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings four times from six attempts. Should be thereabouts. SALTY SNOOP (7) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing seventh (23.55) in a Grade 5 at Geelong. Has a good record here including two wins. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minor placings. Key runner on best form. MUSTANG ELEANOR (3) can feature with the right run.

Was out of placings last time (22.87) at Warrnambool in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 7 lengths. Yet to win but has placed four times from this draw. Makes strong appeal.

Most recent effort finished 4th in a Grade 5 on September 18 over 390m at this track behind Paw Xela beaten 3.5 lengths (23.00). Comes through a good form race. Looks a definite chance.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Warragul over 400m in 22.90 last start, beating Smooth Ranger. The last win was in one of the quickest times on the card. Stick with him.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and tends to spot them a start in his races, The latest effort was a 2.25 lengths fourth over 450m at this track. Looks up against it this time.

Finished in the minors at big odds last time when third (24.67) at Bendigo, making it two placings on end. Jumps from the outside. Solid top-three prospects.
