Ballarat Race 12 - Two More Races To Go
VOLTAGE STRIKE (3) turned spotting a big start finishing sixth (26.17) last time in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from three attempts. Can make amends. PAW RAZOR (2) finished fourth last time but the start prior broke the clock when winning over 390m at Warrnambool, taking a Mix 6/7 in a brilliant 22.10. Top win two back and can measure up again. GO NOW (1) doesn't have the best strike-rate but recent form is sound. Has finished in the placings two on end now, the latest when third (24.58) at Bendigo. Form here at this distance is sound. Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to his name from four starts. Expected to be in this for a long way. BETSIE BALE (4) placed last time out so worth considering.
