Ballarat Race 5 - A1 Signage (1-3 Wins)
SOLID GROOVE (3) broke through for his maiden success last time out at Shepparton over 390m (22.21). Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. Has hit winning form and can measure up again. PAW OAKLEY (4) jumped quickly and led throughout to score two back then well held latest finishing a 10 length 8th at Warrnambool (26.33). Better than last start and can bounce back. REALITY QUEEN (8) latest effort finished 4th on June 6 over 525m at The Meadows behind Aston Machine beaten 9 lengths (30.52) in a Grade 7. Among the main chances. DELUSIONAL (2) scored by one length last time (26.32) in a Rank Limit - Restricted Win over 460m at Warragul. Already a winner from this draw.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start by one length at Warragul (26.32) beating Centaurea in a Rank Limit - Restricted Win on May 14. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 5.5 lengths over 390m at Shepparton in a handy 22.21, beating Love Hurts. Should be prominent.
