Ballarat Race 14 - Ballarat Race 14 Veterans
GUNAI WIZARD (4) was unfancied last time out but hit the ground running to lead all the way, scoring by 2.75 lengths (22.41) at Geelong in a Special conditions race over 400m. Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Can continue on his winning ways. SPRING WATCH (5) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by 0.8 lengths at Horsham in a handy 23.38 beating Gizmo's Girl. Likely to be in the finish. BOURNE SUPREMACY (2) is first up since finishing fifth (25.87) in a Grade 5 at Warrnambool over 450m three-and-a-half months ago. Solid record at the distance winning two races. Has a good overall strike-rate and can find the frame here. TINKER CONALL (1) should be thereabouts after filling a top-three spot from this box most recently.

Won two starts back at Shepparton over 390m in 22.64. Followed that up with a minor placing over 410m at Horsham at Special conditions Veteran race eight days ago. Looks a solid contender.

Missed the frame when fifth (25.87) at Warrnambool at last run and returns here after a three-and-a-half months break. Fresh up record includes two wins. Looks one of the hopes in the race.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Geelong over 400m in 22.41 last start, beating Matt Loch. Expected to measure up again.

Strong performance to win by 0.8 lengths at Horsham over 410m (23.38) beating Gizmo's Girl in Special conditions Veteran race on October 28. Goes very well from this draw including three wins. Leading player.
