Ballarat Race 8 - Happy Horse Produce
YONDU BALE (1) has a strong record here including two wins from four starts. Missed the frame latest (24.37) when eighth over 425m at Bendigo in a Grade 5 FIN. Expected to go close. ASTON TERESA (2) was out of the placings last time when seventh at The Meadows (30.96) but scored four back at The Meadows (30.45). Yet to score from this box but has never missed the frame in two starts. Has ability and can atone. MANDOLIN STORM (4) jumped quickly and led throughout to score two back then well held latest finishing a 2 length 7th at this track (25.76). Comes through a solid form race last start. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. KAELIX JEWEL (8) scored in impressive time last start. Must include.

Missed the frame latest (30.96) when seventh over 525m at The Meadows in a Grade 5. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from two starts. Looks suited and should go close.
