Ballarat Race 9 - Sportsbet Ht2
ASH INTENTION (1) shapes well after a decent run last time, finishing second in a Special conditions H at Geelong in 22.41. Has the ability and looks a key chance again. ASTON PLUTO (2) was below best at her last couple, the latest finishing fifth at Warrnambool, but was among the placings at this track three back. Has the ability and can find best this time. SHE'S RELOADED (5) had the drop on the lead and went on to be beaten 2.25 lengths into third (22.67) at Geelong in a Grade 5 over 400m. The form out of her last race has been franked. Will give a great sight again. DRAGON TRAIN (7) missed the placings here most recently but can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Was among the placegetters latest at Geelong when a 2.5 lengths second but did clock an excellent 22.41 for the 400m trip. Rates a top chance with a repeat here.

Racing well without winning, recording three minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when third (22.67) over 400m at Geelong. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.

Missed the frame last time when fourth (22.80) at this track. Prior to that had been racing well. Has a wide draw to navigate and prefer each-way.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Warrnambool over 390m in 22.28. Followed that up with a minor placing over 390m at this track at Special conditions H a week ago. Should be around the mark.
