Ballarat Race 4 - Download The Watchdog App
HARTLAND DUKE (1) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 8th at this track following on from a second place finish (22.54) there the start prior. Ready to return to form. PAW PASCAL (7) comes off an average run last start when sixth at Shepparton over 390m behind Classic Grey (23.56) in a Grade 5. Scored at his previous run. Cannot be underestimated. SWANKY CHIC (3) finds it hard to break through. Has hit the frame at her last three runs, the latest finishing third (22.87) at this track. Can feature again. HARTLAND PRINCE (6) should be thereabouts despite an unplaced run here most recently.
