Ballarat Race 14 - Ballarat Race 14
STAR FURY (1) missed the frame latest (22.54) when eighth over 390m at this track in a Grade 5. Has an unbeaten record from this draw, scoring two times. Looks the one to beat with even luck. PAW XANTHIE (2) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at Geelong behind Paw Varner (22.82) in a Grade 5. Has the pace to be prominent. Can feature again. SIMPLY NED (3) flew the lids off the inside with a slick early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow fourth (22.32) over 390m at this track. Can measure up this time. SUMO SMASH (8) is in the mix despite missing out at this track last time.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished last over 390m at this track beaten 6 lengths (22.54) behind Valletta Dash in a Grade 5 on April 1. Placed two back at Geelong. Unbeaten in two starts from this box. Key runner.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 22.82 over 400m at Geelong. Speedy conveyance who looks hard to beat.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 2.5 lengths fourth (22.32) over 390m at this track. Has been around the mark at his last couple and should make his presence felt.

Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fifth (22.22) at Shepparton over 390m. Other runners look much more appealing.
