Ballarat Race 12 - Grv Vicbred Series Ht3

TOUCH OF SIN (8) produced an impressive win last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by 4 lengths (22.93) at Horsham. The one to beat again. FLUENT ACTION (7) boasts a strong record this journey with 13 wins and 11 minors from 30 tries. Missed the frame latest (22.36) when fourth over 390m at Shepparton in a Grade 4/5. Looks one of the chances. ASTON WARRIOR (2) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, hitting the frame latest when 2nd at Warrnambool over 390m. Well-placed to take this out. HIGHLY ABRASIVE (4) recorded a 3.5 lengths win (19.01) in a Grade 4/5 last time at Healesville. Already a winner from this draw.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished eighth in a Grade 5 on February 13 over 390m at Warrnambool behind Stojanovic, beaten 14 lengths (22.94). Likely to find this too tough.

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 5 length second (22.49) over 390m at Warrnambool and making it two placings on end. Capable of a good showing.

Good effort to win last start by 3 lengths over 400m at Warragul in a handy (22.36), beating Corinthian. Will find this a bit tougher, not one of the leading chances on this occasion.
