Ballarat Race 14 - Ballarat Race 14
FLYING MAVERICK (1) last appeared when too good (25.96) over 435m at Sale on December 26. Resumes after finishing eighth (25.96) at Sale over 435m three-and-a-half months ago. Has a strong record at this journey including two wins. Strike-rate solid and expected to feature in the finish. POWER AFFECT (2) is a well performed dog who recorded his 6th career win last time out at Warrnambool (22.11). Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. RELAX MATE (6) stalked the pace from a low draw last start and fought on well to finish 3.5 lengths away in third (23.45) at Horsham in a Grade 5 over 410m. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Expected to be in the finish again. LAKEVIEW MITCH (3) recorded a handy 24.43 win last start. In form and worth including.

Returns from a break and was a winner at only other try fresh, which was at first career start scoring at Warragul over 400m. Looks a definite winning chance here.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Warrnambool over 390m in 22.11 last start, beating Bragging Rights. Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a fast early split, paving the way for a 1.5 lengths win at Sale over 435m in 24.43. Rates among the chances this time.
