Ballarat Race 13 - Ballarat Race 13
BLACK STATESMAN (1) has a strong record here with two wins and two placings from six starts. Missed the frame latest (22.47) when fourth over 390m at this track in a Grade 5. Looks a leading chance on best. SPRING QUEUE (7) turned in a plain effort last time when seventh at Geelong over 400m behind Caly Jet (23.13) in a Grade 4/5. Placed at his previous run. One of the better chances. HOW AMAZING (8) flew the lids from out wide with a slick early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow fifth (22.55) over 390m at this track. Can do much better this time. MOTOR CITY SAM (4) placed last time at big odds - worth some thought.

Showed strong early pace and stuck on well despite finishing out of the placings when fourth over 390m this track in 22.47. Rates highly on best form. Expected to feature.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won by 0.7 lengths at Warragul (22.90) beating No Charge in a Grade 5 on December 23. Others read better.

Showed brilliant pace early and gave a sight when a 5.5 lengths third over 390m Warrnambool in 22.33. Right in the mix here.

Has finished in the placings at last two, the latest when third (23.51) over 400m at Mt Gambier. Drawn awkwardly. Has to do a bit more.

Missed the frame last start when seventh and beaten 9 lengths at Geelong. Form solid prior to that including a win at Geelong three back. Better than last run and looks set to run well.
