Ballarat Race 12 - Two More Races To Go

PAW ZOHAN (1) comes off a (21.93) win last time, scoring by 3.5 lengths in a Grade 5 over 390m at Warrnambool. Has an unbeaten record from this draw, scoring two times. Looks well placed and should feature. CRIMINAL MINDS (2) finished third last time (22.17) at this track after winning at his previous three outings. Goes very well at the trip finding the frame in each of six starts. Must be included in calculations. ODDLY COOL (5) continues to race well, filling the minors at the last three starts, the latest at this track in 21.97. Has never missed the frame here at the trip from three starts. Expected to feature on best form. BLACKPOOL FINN (7) was in the money last start in fast time and should feature again.
