Ballarat Race 6 - A1 Signage

NEED A PILOT (1) looks close to another win after finishing second from Box 7 last time (25.49) at this track. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Deserves serious consideration. SWIFT VODKA (2) has shown good improvement at her last two starts, most recently finishing 2nd at Bendigo over 500m. Leading chance. PAW VERNON (3) boasts a strong record this journey with three wins and two minors from six tries. Scored by 3.5 lengths last time (25.96) in a Mix 6/7 over 460m at Geelong. Looks suited here and can measure up. RICKY BOBBY RIOT (8) racing over this distance brings the best out in him.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 25.49 over 450m at this track. Unbeaten in four starts from this box. Key runner.

In the money last time at Bendigo (28.35) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 0.8 lengths second. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and three minors. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.
