Ballarat Race 13 - Ballarat Race 13
MINI MINION (3) pinged the lids and was in the firing line throughout but drifted out of it when 6th at Shepparton in a Bottom Up - Grade 5. Has ability and is a key runner. HARTLAND DUKE (1) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fourth (23.09) in a Rank Limit - Grade 5 at Shepparton. Can figure in the finish. SHY CABANG (2) turned in a moderate performance last time when fifth at Shepparton over 390m behind Kraken Rum (23.15) in a Rank Limit - Grade 5. Placed at her previous run. Must be included in calculations. TINKER MIKE (8) cannot be overlooked following a recent top-three finish.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 390m at this track. Better off looking to others.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 23.27 over 400m at Geelong. Looks a solid contender.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage eighth last time out over 425m at Bendigo. Not among the main chances this time.

Could only manage sixth last time but the start prior hit the frame when third (24.64) over 425m at Bendigo. Boxed out wide but can measure up.
