Ballarat Race 11 - Download The Watchdog App
COCO TOMMY (1) flew the lids from out wide with a slick early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow fifth (17.22) over 300m at Healesville. Should be very hard to beat this time. PAW OLYSLAGERS (2) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing seventh (30.71) last time in a Grade 5 at Sandown. Has a good record here including two wins. Comes through a solid form race last start. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. BUCK SHINES (8) missed the frame and safely held latest finishing 7th at Shepparton following on from a win (24.41) at Bendigo the start prior. Form here at the trip sound including two wins. Key runner who gets his chance to atone. ARGYLE EMMA (5) comes under notice as a past winner at this course and distance.

Flew the lids with a fast early split and went on to clock 22.55 when a 0.8 lengths winner over 390m at this track. In form and is right in the mix again.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage eighth last time out over 390m at this track. Hard to have this time.

Did a good job two starts back at Bendigo to win by a neck in 24.41, beating Wild Serena. Last start finished 7th over 450m at Shepparton beaten 5 lengths (25.91) behind Major Shiraz in a Grade 5 on March 9. Is a danger.
