Ballarat Race 1 - 13 Races Tonight
FLYING SKIPPER (6) is struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three on end. Last start rocketed out of the boxes with a scorching early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when second (19.59) at Healesville over 350m. Can find winning form. GRAY GROUPER (7) is a first starter by Bernardo out of Jen Jumbo Prawn with no trial form to work with. Profiles well but prefer to see a move in betting. ANNIE'S REGRET (2) has been freshened since finishing midfield on debut at Warrnambool over 390m (23.14). Can feature with the right run. WHERE'S THE GOLD (4) is likely to have admirers.

Has only been in the placings once from six starts. Last raced when fifth over 390m at Warrnambool six days ago. Prepared to risk.

Ran a fair race on debut when jumped well and led them out before fading to finish fifth (23.14) at Warrnambool over 390m. Should be further improved. Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.

Finished eighth (26.47) last time over 450m at Warrnambool. On the quick back up and gets his chance to turn it around. Forget the latest effort. Among the chances.

First race starter by Bernardo from Jen Jumbo Prawn. Expected to be well fancied.

First starter by Out Of Range from Speedy Muffin. Trained by Simone Fisher. Might pay to watch for a market push.
