Ballarat Race 9 - Gap (1-2 Wins)
WIZZIN' BY (2) has been in super consistent form recently with two minors on end before missing the frame latest finishing sixth (24.57) at Bendigo. Better than last start and worth following up. GRAVY TRAIN (5) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at Geelong over 460m behind Mepunga Spirit (26.32) in a Mix 6/7. Placed at his previous run. Leading chance. TULSA (1) was an effortless winner two back scoring by half a length but could manage only midfield last time when finished 5th and beaten 13 lengths at Warrnambool (26.13). Bold showing expected. PUNITIVE (3) is a last-start placegetter with solid claims again.

Didn't make the placings last time at Bendigo (24.57) in a Mix 6/7, finishing a 9 length sixth. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Makes strong appeal.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 500m at Bendigo. Predicted to struggle on this occasion.
