Ballarat Race 12 - Two More Races To Go
SKETCHY DEMOS (2) finished sixth last time but the start prior broke the clock when winning over 390m at Warrnambool, taking a Free For All in a powerful 21.91. Looks the one to beat on win two back. LAID BACK LASS (8) goes very well here starting 15 times for five wins and six minors. Below best last time at this track (22.17) in a Grade 5, finishing a 6 length fourth. Suited here and expected to run well. BUSTING (6) is overdue for a win after recording back to back placings, the latest jumping from this same box when a 3.5 lengths third (22.94) in a Grade 5 at Geelong. Has the ability and looks a key chance. GAS LANTERN (7) is always a threat when she races at this track and distance.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 425m at Bendigo. Looks tested in this company.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Geelong over 400m in 22.75. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when sixth over 390m at this track at Grade 5 level. Has ability and looks a winning hope.
