Ballarat Race 7 - Ballarat Enduro Series Prelude 5

TAW MAJOR (3) missed the frame last time at The Meadows but just three runs back rocketed around 545m at this track in 30.94. Looks the one to beat on best figures. WIZARD WATSON (4) is better than last start when fourth (31.47) from Box 4 at this track over 545m. Has a solid record from this box including two wins and a minor placing. Expected to feature in the finish. PAW XEROX (6) has mixed form recently, finishing fourth (31.31) in a Special conditions race at this track latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Rates a winning chance on best. LIGHTNING HUNTER (1) was below best last time at Bendigo (28.64) in a Grade 5, finishing a 6 length fourth. Has already won two times from this draw.

Could manage only fourth last time but impressed the start prior when he clocked a fast 29.55 over 515m finishing second at Sandown. Can measure up on top effort two back.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th on August 5 over 545m at this track behind No Stop Signs beaten 9 lengths (31.31) in a Special conditions race. Placed two back at Sandown. Has ability and looks a winning hope.

Found the going tougher last start when third over 545m at this track. That followed a win two back in 30.43 beating Belfast Spot over 525m at The Meadows. Not up to this.

Drawn the outside box and could be suited with some luck. Goes ok at this track and distance but recent form not good enough, hard to have this time.
