Ballarat Race 5 - Tudor Electrical

PURPLE SAPPHIRE (1) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (25.57) from Box 6 at this track. Hard to knock her form from this box, unbeaten in two starts. One of the leading chances. AUSSIE FRED (2) is a handy dog who jumped from box 6 last time out and scored by 1.5 lengths at this track (21.97). Expecting another bold showing. PAW LILIBET (4) has been in the placings at her last two runs, most recently when second (30.57) in a Grade 5 over 525m at The Meadows. Can turn it around this time. WHATEVER HE SAID (8) must be included on latest effort.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 6 length third (25.57) over 450m at this track. Should be right in the finish.
