Ballarat Race 8 - Ballarat Enduro Series Prelude 1
TAW MAJOR (2) hit the ground running off the low draw last start and was never headed (30.94) at this track in a Grade 4/5 over 545m. Ran the fastest time on the program in his latest win. Makes plenty of appeal if runs up to latest. HOUSE OF SINS (1) finished in the minors last time but only a few starts back broke the clock when winning over 550m at Q Lakeside, taking a Restricted WIN in an excellent 30.21. Top win three back and can measure up again. URANA XAVIER (8) missed the frame latest when sixth at The Meadows (34.81) but scored four back at Sandown (34.54). Will give the top chances plenty to think about. SO HE THINKS (3) was in the money last time at this track (31.03) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 1.5 lengths second. Has three wins already from this draw.

Hit the frame latest (29.83) when second at Sandown in a Grade 5. Super consistent from the draw with a win and three places from four starts. Looks suited and should go close.

Good effort to win last start by half a length over 525m at The Meadows in a handy (30.43), beating Flash Of Genius. Will find this a bit tougher, not one of the leading chances on this occasion.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and tends to spot them a start in his races, Last start finished fourth over 515m at Sandown, beaten 4 lengths. Prepared to risk this time.
