Ballarat Race 7 - Ballarat Enduro Series Prelude 2
ASTON GOZO (5) jumped well to win over the 525m at The Meadows two runs back then prominent throughout when finishing third at this track last start. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings four times from four attempts. Winning claims. URANA XAVIER (7) could manage only a 6 length fourth last start over 545m at this track but in a useful 31.09. Harder here but will be in this for a long way. WIZARD WATSON (4) produced a swift 29.55 when filling a minor placing over 515m at Sandown last start. Bold showing expected again. BALDING SANDY (2) boasts a solid strike-rate from this box.

Has finished fourth at his last couple of starts, most recently at Shepparton over 450m. Can't enthuse on this occasion.

Last couple of starts have been ordinary but she does have good record over this track and distance. Has a very good strike-rate out of box 2, scoring three times. Among the chances.

Hit the frame at Sandown last time when a 1.3 lengths second but did record a slick 29.55 over the 515m trip. Can measure up with a repeat of latest.

In the money last time at this track (31.05) in a Special conditions race, finishing a 6 length third. Placed at all four starts from this draw. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage sixth last time out over 600m at The Meadows. Will need to improve to feature.
