Ballarat Race 13 - Ballarat Race 13
ASTON WARRIOR (1) hit the ground running from the squeeze draw with a sensational early split last time, paving the way for a 4.5 lengths win at Warrnambool over 390m in 22.24. Will go close again if runs up to latest. FOGHORN JACK (8) boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten a neck (22.53) behind Blackpool Finn at Geelong. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Can feature again. WINNING STEPS (2) was safely held last time out, finishing sixth at Warrnambool over 450m behind Analyzation (25.98) in a Mix 3/4. Scored at his previous run. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Can measure up this time. ZIVA BALE (7) is a last-start placegetter as favourite - solid claims again.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Warrnambool over 390m in 22.24 last start, beating She Rebel. Likes the rails so looks the one to beat again.

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (22.86) at Warragul over 400m. Thereabouts recently and definitely worth including.

Narrowly beaten last time at Geelong when only a neck from the winner but did record an outstanding 22.53 over the 400m journey. Has the ability and looks hard to top.
