Ballarat Race 8 - Town & Country Line Marking

PAW WHISTLER (7) lit up the clock in 25.23 when winning a Grade 4/5 over 450m at Warrnambool last start. Smart win latest and looks a key chance again here. RUAPUKE ROCKS (8) is a talented type and proved too strong last time to win by a nose at this track in a handy 25.54 beating Stapleton. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minor placings. Leading player again. NACHO PROBLEM (1) three runs back produced a convincing 22.65 win over 400m at Warragul then has found the minor money in two runs since. Expected to feature on best figures. PAW XENA (2) has ability and can find the frame.
