Ballarat Race 3 - Download The Watchdog App
SMILEY MIA (2) is mixing form lately, finishing out of the placings last time at this track but was a Bottom Up - Maiden winner two back at Warrnambool. Key player on best and worth another chance. PUNITIVE (4) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (22.74) at this track behind Ruby Riot in a T3 Grade 7. Has the pace to be prominent. Leading chance. PLAIN SAINT (3) has missed the frame at his last two but did run well three back when third (22.75) in a Bottom Up - Restricted Win at Warrnambool. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. RUN BARRA RUN (1) is worth consideration.
