Ballarat Race 9 - Southern Sheetmetal
JUST GOT PAID (8) showed strong early pace from the wide draw and stuck on well despite missing the frame, finishing fourth over 545m this track in 31.20. Ready to return to form. PAW DANNY (4) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (35.04) in a Grade 4/5 at The Meadows. Form at the trip sound including seven wins. Expected to give a good account. DEEP THINKER (1) can keep up the top recent form following a quick 25.31 win two back with a Grade 5 victory at Warrnambool over 450m in 25.30. Expected to feature again. PAW FAROK (2) is worth consideration after filling a hole last start.

Was out of placings last time (35.04) at The Meadows in a Grade 4/5, finishing fifth and beaten 10 lengths. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minors. Leading player.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when second (35.07) at big odds over 600m at The Meadows. Tends to run fairly well off the tricky draw but will need to find best.

Was a winner three back at this track then finished in the minors before missing the frame last time when fourth (31.20) at this track. Looks a key chance here on best and given another chance.
