Ballarat Race 1 - Happy Horse Produce
MAXIMUM ELLY (1) Tidy effort when 3rd last run at Warrnambool and has drawn to do little work. Exhibiting good form since coming back from a break and putting a tidy record together. Has the ability to take this out. ASTON NEUTRON (10) Unimpressive effort when 6th last time at the track. Can win. CLARETOWN BLUEY (2) Close to claiming the win last run around here. Should race on the speed. Won't be far away. MINER'S REBEL (3) Not in contention when 4th last start at Horsham. Expecting to settle positively. Serious player.

Jumped at $11.00 and only fair when 6th last run at Geelong but can find a nice position from the draw. Prefer a return to something a lot easier.
