Ballarat Race 3 - A1 Signage
DELICIOUS (1) comes off an average performance last start when fifth at The Meadows over 525m behind Wyong Houston (31.15) in a Maiden H. Was in the money prior to that. Better than last start and worth following up. TOMMY SPARKLE (2) showed ability on debut filling a minor placing when third (25.71) at this track over 450m. This looks easier and expected to improve further. SHIMA LYRIC (4) broke from the inside draw and filled a minor placing last start, beaten only a long neck (25.55) behind Dad's Tarpia at this track. Expected to be in this for a long way. SHIMA SAND (3) is worth a look over a shorter distance this time.

Has ability but remains a maiden after three starts, the most recent effort a fifth (31.15) over 525m at The Meadows. Should prove hard to beat.

Turned in a sound debut over 450m at this track finishing third (25.71) and beaten 3 lengths. Key chance on best form.

Showed strong pace early but found one better when a long neck second over 450m this track in 25.55. Forward showing expected.

Modest effort last time out when sixth over 450m at this track. Needs to find a bit more.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when second (26.40) over 460m at Geelong. Looks tested in this line-up.

Last start finished eighth over 460m at Geelong, beaten 21 lengths (27.61) behind Shima Ballad in a Maiden on December 27. Can't make much of a case this time.

Ran a solid race on debut when settled well off the lead early but got home well to finish fifth (31.08) at The Meadows over 525m. Should be further improved. Leading chance on best form.
