Ballarat Race 12 - One More Race To Go
DONKEY FLY (8) filled a minor placing last start at Warragul behind I'm Fabulous (25.85) in a Grade 4/5. Chased the leaders and with a clean run can be prominent. Good form should continue. NIGHT SHARID (5) had won two in a row before finishing fourth (22.74) last time at Geelong. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Can do much better this time. BREAKDOWN (1) produced a moderate run last time when eighth at Warrnambool over 390m behind Paw Ensley (22.49) in a Grade 5. The form from his last run stacks up well. Must be included in calculations. GOOD ODDS MARIO (2) must be respected at his pet distance.

Drawn the inside. At the last start finished last on February 19 over 390m at Warrnambool behind Paw Ensley beaten 8 lengths (22.49) in a Grade 5. Capable of much better. Worth keeping safe.

Missed the frame last start when fourth and beaten 5.5 lengths at Healesville. Form solid prior to that including a win at Warragul three back. Rates well on best and expect a better run this time.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 2.75 lengths fourth (21.93) over 390m at this track. Prepared to risk on this occasion.

Showed strong early pace and stuck on well despite finishing out of the placings when fourth over 400m Geelong in 22.74. Broke a two-start winning streak when fourth last time. Can bounce back.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage sixth last time out over 390m at this track. Not doing enough to be considered.

Showed good improvement when third behind I'm Fabulous at Warragul last start over 460m (25.85). Has to be respected.
