Ballarat Race 12 - Two More Races To Go
PERFECTLY (3) failed to feature last start after drifting back at this track, but prior to that won by half a length at Bendigo (28.23) beating Whatever He Said in a Grade 4/5 on January 20. Should bounce back. OUR PATCH (4) is better than last start when seventh (23.23) in a Grade 5 H at Warragul over 400m. Got the money at his only try from this box. Great chance to atone. BUSH BIG SHOW (1) doesn't show much early dash but winds into his races, two back missing the frame but last time hitting the line hard to place when second (22.37) in a Grade 5 at Warrnambool last time. Form at the trip sound including five wins. Goes very well from this draw with three wins and three minor placings from six starts. Leading player again. DOONGALLA AL (7) can sneak into the finish.

Most recent effort finished last over 400m at Geelong beaten 13 lengths (23.49) behind Gloria's Entity in a Grade 5 on January 30. Should show more than the latest offering. Has claims.

Had been racing in honest fashion, recording three placings in a row, before finishing eighth (26.12) at Shepparton last start. Boxed out wide and will need the right run to feature.
