Ballarat Race 9 - Happy Horse Produce
CROYDON (3) was in the placings last time but prior to that he posted a flying 21.92 win over 390m at this track. Looks the one to beat on win two back. PAW JASTA (2) three runs back posted a scintillating 21.83 win over 390m at Shepparton then has found the minor money in two runs since. Has the ability and looks a key chance. PAW GERTRUDE (5) has a strong record here with six wins and a minor from 12 starts. Hit the frame latest (25.36) when third at this track in a Grade 4/5. Looks one of the chances. GRAPEFRUIT RACER (1) should be thereabouts.

Was out of placings last time when fourth (26.30) at Geelong in a Restricted WIN H. Will jump from box 1 for the first time. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (21.72) at Shepparton over 390m. Racing well and can find winning form again.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished last on March 31 over 485m at Horsham behind Doongalla Rocket beaten 6 lengths (27.57) in a Grade 4/5. Placed two back at Horsham. Ignore last start. Has ability and can feature in the finish.

In the money last time at this track (25.36) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 4 length third. Has performed well off the draw with a win and six places from 12 starts. Makes strong appeal.
