Ballarat Race 14 - Ballarat Race 14

PAW RIVAL (1) was below best last time but prior to that was narrowly beaten when fourth (22.36) in a Grade 5 at this track. Likely to improve sharply this time. MAJOR SHIRAZ (8) hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 6 length third over 425m at Bendigo, clocking 24.27. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from three attempts. Overdue and expected to feature again. DON'T CONFESS (5) boasts a strong record this journey here with three wins and three minors from nine tries. Scored by 1.2 lengths last time (22.46) in a T3 Grade 6 over 390m at this track. Makes strong appeal on best. CHALK AND CHEESE (2) made it two minor placings on the trot when beaten third (23.00) in a Grade 5 at Geelong last time out.

Didn't make the placings last time at Geelong (23.08) in a Grade 5, finishing a 5.5 lengths fourth. Has three successes and four minors from 13 starts from box 1. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Found the going tougher last start when third over 400m at Warragul. That followed a win two back in 20.31 beating Jack Hook over 350m at Traralgon. Others preferred on this occasion.
