Ballarat Race 8 - Ballarat Function Centre
SIR VALENTINO (6) turned in a plain effort last time when fifth at Bendigo over 500m behind Jag Fernando (28.88) in a Grade 5. Key runner on his best form. SAKURA RYKER (1) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing sixth (25.38) in a Grade 5 at Sale. Solid record at the distance winning three races. Comes through a solid form race last start. Key runner who gets her chance to atone.

Didn't make the placings last time at Sale (25.38) in a Grade 5, finishing a 10 length sixth. Has two successes and three minors from eight starts from box 1. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.

At the last start finished last on January 11 over 525m at The Meadows behind Will Vanson beaten 12 lengths (31.03) in a Grade 5 FIN. Capable of much better. Worth keeping safe.
