Ballarat Race 12 - Two More Races To Go
PAW YAZ (6) scored two back then drifted back and missed the frame latest finishing a 3.5 lengths 4th at Shepparton (22.98). Looks the one to beat on her best form. WELLERMAN (1) was a big winner two back scoring by 0.8 lengths then got further back last time but came home hard into third and beaten 5 lengths at Healesville (17.25). Has performed well from this box with a win and three minor placings to his name from five starts. Expecting another good run. ZIVA BALE (7) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (22.56) in a Rank Limit - Grade 5 at this track. Solid record here at the distance winning four races. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings four times from eight starts. Cannot be taken lightly. DUNACH FIREBALL (2) cannot be written off despite a miss here at his latest outing.

Won two starts back over 425m at Bendigo. Last start he finished 3rd on September 25 over 300m at Healesville behind Path To Nirvana beaten 5 lengths (17.25) in a Grade 5. Draw likely to suit. Comes through a solid form race. Expected to feature.

Could only manage seventh last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when third (23.03) over 390m at this track. Has a solid record off the draw and capable of a better result.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (22.65) at big odds over 390m at this track. Has a low draw but needs to find best form to feature.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (24.69) over 425m at Bendigo. Tricky draw to overcome. Looks tested in this line-up.
