Ballarat Race 5 - Greyhound Adoption Program
ZIVA BALE (1) is drawn well on the inside. Last start finished 2nd in a Grade 4/5 on December 2 over 400m at Geelong behind That's A Boodie beaten 2.75 lengths (22.93). Can find winning form. MISCHIEF MATE (5) turned in a plain effort last time when seventh at this track over 390m behind Tension Head (22.68) in a Grade 5. Should be about the money. NEVERMIND (3) goes very well here starting nine times for three wins and two minors. Hit the frame latest (22.67) when second at this track in a Grade 5. Makes strong appeal on best. CRAIG KEEPING (2) gave nothing else a chance most recently. Hard to beat again.

Scored by 2.25 lengths last time (24.48) in a Grade 5 over 425m at Bendigo. Goes well out of this box with a win and five minors. Looks suited here and can measure up on best.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish second (22.67) at this track over 390m. Although unsuccessful last time still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Stick with him.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (22.78) over 400m at Geelong. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Will need plenty of luck.

Flew the lids with a quick early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (22.87) over 390m at this track. Should be around the mark.
