Ballarat Race 4 - Happy Horse Produce
MIA INTENTION (1) was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split and ran away with a 5 length win at this track over 390m in 22.26. Will go close again if runs up to latest. YALE TURN (4) was well off top last time, finishing 5th (19.78) in a Mix 6/7 at Healesville. Has won here at this journey. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Key player if finds best. ASTON GIOVANNI (7) showed strong early pace and stuck on well despite finishing out of the placings when fourth over 425m Bendigo in 24.15. Can figure in the finish. VISTA HOIST (2) justified the favourite's tag last time and another big run is on the cards.

Good effort to score just five days ago over 390m at this track by 5 lengths in a Maiden. Has hit winning form and can measure up again.

Good performance to win by 3 lengths at this track over 450m (26.06) beating Wah Gum in Maiden on August 12. Has hit winning form and is worth thought again.

Ordinary effort last start when he was slow out over 350m at Healesville. Prior to that won by a neck at this track (25.47) beating Paw Lapras in a Maiden on July 8. The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won comfortably by 7 lengths at Horsham (23.65) beating Nova Intention in a Maiden on August 18. Others make more appeal.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 2.25 lengths fourth (24.15) over 425m at Bendigo. Looks a solid hope.

Has finished fifth at her last couple of starts, most recently at Geelong over 460m. Tempted to look elsewhere.
