Ballarat Race 14 - Ballarat Race 14
NIKITA BALE (1) last few starts have been well off top, the latest finishing 4th (25.87) in a Grade 5 at Shepparton. Has won here at this journey. Better than last start and worth following up. ROXY SMIRNOFF (2) is long overdue for a win and in super consistent form, jumping from this box to place last time at Ballarat (22.61), making it three straight minors. Has the ability and can measure up. WESTERN'S BEAR (4) was game in defeat at the latest run, finishing second and beaten 1.3 lengths (22.41) behind Imani at Ballarat. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Ready to find winning form. PHIL'S NO ANGEL (8) has top-three aspirations after placing last time.
