Ballarat Race 13 - Ballarat Race 13
MIA COCO (3) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (22.88) at Geelong behind Rio Stella in a Grade 5. Has the pace to be prominent. One of the leading chances. PAW LINDEN (7) was strongly fancied latest and proved too good with a 4 length win at Warrnambool in a handy 22.25. Wide box to overcome but in form and has the ability. Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. Should feature again. PAW AMARAN (6) turned in a plain performance last time when sixth at Geelong over 400m behind Blackpool Finn (23.40) in a Grade 5. Was in the money the start prior. Form is hard to fault from this box, with a win and three minor placings from four starts. Key player if finds best. RHUBARB (1) has strong credentials from this draw.

Missed the frame last start when sixth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Better than last run and looks an each way chance.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (22.57) over 390m at this track. Drawn out wide and will need the breaks to go his way.
