Ballarat Race 13 - Ballarat Race 13
PAW XARIA (3) comes off an average run last start when fifth at this track over 390m behind Living (22.42) in a Grade 5. Was a winner the start prior. Should bounce back. CRACKERJACK HOPS (6) could not have been more impressive last start in his lightning 21.64 win at Warrnambool over 390m. Expecting another bold showing. RED ED (2) produced a moderate performance last time when fifth at The Meadows over 525m behind Voltage Strike (30.84) in a Grade 5. Cannot be underestimated. CHEMICAL EROSION (1) is always a threat when he races at this journey.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Warrnambool over 390m. Last start finished 5th on December 4 over 390m at this track behind Living beaten 6 lengths (22.42) in a Grade 5. Solid formlines coming through that last run. Looks a major player.

Rocketed out of the boxes with a sizzling early split and led throughout to score when a 1.75 lengths winner (21.64) at Warrnambool. Comes through a good form race. Looks a top chance.
