Ballarat Race 2 - Sportsbet Feed
MAIGRET (1) was below best at his last couple, the latest finishing fifth at Sale, but was among the placings at this track three back. Has the ability and expected to go close. ASTON BOREALIS (4) carved over from wide out and boxed on strongly to finish 0.7 lengths away in second (22.77) behind Red Eye Samurai at Geelong. Expected to be in this for a long way. WHERE'S MICK (3) filled a minor placing last start at Warrnambool behind Tin Lids (25.91) in a Bottom Up - Grade 6. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Winning chance. WANGARATTA QUEEN (8) can play a role in the finish without surprising.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 5th over 435m at Sale beaten 10 lengths (25.11) behind Louie Louie in a Grade 7 on August 16. Looks a strong winning hope.

Backs up after winning comfortably by 4 lengths at Mt Gambier (23.68) beating All I Ask in a Maiden on August 16 five days ago. Likely to find this a lot tougher and he needs to find another gear.

Charged out of the boxes with a slick early split and went straight to the front, giving a huge sight but headed late when a 0.7 lengths second (22.77) over 400m at Geelong. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.

Strong performance to post a big 5.5 lengths win at Traralgon over 350m (20.19) beating Drink Water in Maiden on August 14. Prepared to risk.

Showing promise but missed the frame last start when sixth at Geelong. Form solid prior to that including a win at Shepparton three back. Rates well on best and expect a better run this time.
