Ballarat Race 8 - Ballarat Function Centre
MR. KIA ORA (6) turned in a plain effort last time when sixth at Geelong over 460m behind Go Go Evie (26.23) in a Grade 5. Key runner on his best form. PAW HAZELDON (3) turned in a better effort at Warrnambool last start, finishing third behind Take The Steps (25.70) in a Grade 5. Has the pace to be prominent. Comes through a solid form race last start. Expected to be in this for a long way. PAW CHEYENNE (2) has some solid form under her belt and proved too classy last time to win by 0.6 lengths at Geelong in a handy 22.71 beating Captain Stevie. Deserves serious consideration again. ASTON CASTLE (7) finished in the placings last start and deserves some thought.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 400m at Geelong. Prepared to just watch this time.

Good performance after racing just off the speed to win by 0.6 lengths at Geelong over 400m (22.71) beating Captain Stevie in Grade 5 on July 12. Should be around the mark.

Showed brilliant pace early and gave a sight when a 2.25 lengths third over 450m Warrnambool in 25.70. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Geelong over 400m in 22.65. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when seventh over 450m at this track at Grade 5 level. Hard to entertain this time.

Latest effort finished 6th in a Grade 5 on July 11 over 460m at Geelong behind Go Go Evie beaten 6 lengths (26.23). Has performed below expectations at his last couple but is capable of far better.
