Ballarat Race 2 - Sportsbet Ht2
PAW BLASTOISE (1) is a Rebecca Gibbons-trained newcomer by Quinlan Bale out of Osanna Bale. Drawn well and should get his chance. Expected to be well fancied and can make an immediate impact. SWEET TESSA (4) had the drop on the lead from the rails draw last start but could only manage third, beaten 8 lengths (22.46) at Warrnambool in a Maiden over 390m. Expected to be in the finish again. TURBO JAKE (2) wasn't far away at the finish when 5th and beaten only 4.5 lengths (23.36) at Geelong. Comes through a solid form race last start. Has ability and can measure up. COIN COLLECTOR (6) is new to this track but should be in the mix.

Last start finished 5th in a Maiden on October 9 over 400m at Geelong behind So She Think beaten 4.5 lengths (23.36). Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Made an impressive debut when charged out of the cherry draw with a slick early sectional and gave a sight but had to settle for third (22.46) at Warrnambool. Promising type and can get off the mark here.

Good effort last time when second (22.63) over 390m at Shepparton. Squeeze draw to overcome. Others preferred.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when second (22.56) over 390m at Warrnambool. Tough draw to overcome but is among the better hopes.
