Ballarat Race 14 - Ballarat Race 14
LUCY SCHOOL (1) goes very well here starting 11 times for four wins and two minors. Missed the frame latest (25.77) when fourth over 450m at this track in a Special conditions race. Rates on top and should go close. KATE'S RIFT (3) was an impressive winner last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by 4 lengths (22.15) at this track. Looks a primary danger. ASTON CLEESE (8) was prominent throughout when winning two back then got further back last time but came home hard into second and beaten 3 lengths at this track (22.39). Hard to beat again. DINOSAUR (2) will be thereabouts after recent top-three finishes.

Last couple of starts have been ordinary but she has solid credentials over this track and distance. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Strong performance showing plenty of speed to post a big 4 lengths victory in a T3 RSTW last start at this track, recording a handy 22.15 over the 390m journey. Top win and looms as a strong winning chance.

Good effort to win last start by 1.1 lengths over 390m at Shepparton in a handy (22.47), beating Sunshine North. Will find this a bit tougher, prepared to risk on this occasion.

In the money last time at this track (22.44) in a Grade 5, finishing a 4 length second. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Looks suited here and can measure up on best.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 3 length second (22.39) over 390m at this track. Fought on last time. Right in the mix again.
