Ballarat Race 5 - A1 Signage
PAW DIPPY (3) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (25.91) last time in a Mix 6/7 at this track. Form from her last run is proving strong. Has ability and looks hard to stop. ASTON PRESTON (1) turned in a fair run last time from the squeeze finishing fifth by 4.5 lengths (20.35). Should be in this for a long way. TRENTON'S MISS (4) is super consistent overall, having placed seven of 15 career runs. Finished third (25.87) at this track latest and might be close to finding winning form again. Has a good record at this journey. Expecting another good run. DARK HABITS (2) picked up a cheque last time and is in the mix again.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage eighth last time out over 450m at this track. Others hold stronger claims.
