Ballarat Race 3 - A1 Signage Veterans

SHIMA STRIPE (2) finished fourth last time at Healesville but could not have been more impressive a few runs back in his strong 19.34 win at Healesville over 350m. Smart win three back and looks a key chance here. GUNAI WIZARD (5) is in hot form winning his last four on end, the latest pinging the lids with a sensational early split and clocking 22.52 over 400m at Geelong. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Leading player again. PYRENEES BLAZER (8) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind Time To Prophet (22.55) in a Grade 5. Has the pace to be prominent. Leading chance. TENSION HEAD (4) has been freshened and can sneak into the frame on his best form.

Ordinary effort last start when he got back too far over 300m at Healesville. Prior to that won by 0.8 lengths at this track (22.23) beating Spring Brumby in a Grade 5 on November 25. Forget the latest effort. Among the chances.

Has been in a purple patch of form, putting four wins back-to-back. Had plenty of support last start when he won by 2.75 lengths at Geelong (22.52) beating Below The Curve in a Special conditions Veteran race on January 16. In sparkling form and can win again.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 425m at Bendigo. Others make more appeal.
