Ballarat Race 7 - Gap (2-5 Wins)
PAW WYLDER (2) slotted in just off the lead from the wide draw last start and boxed on to finish third (31.53) at this track in a T3 RSTW over 545m. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Can go on with it. MISS SPARKLES (1) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing eighth (35.47) in a Grade 4/5 at Sandown. A forward showing wouldn't surprise. OKAY ALF (7) turned in a moderate performance last time when fifth at this track over 545m behind Uruguayan Girl (31.81) in a T3 RSTW. Placed at his previous run. Key runner who gets his chance to atone. AXEL'S RADAR (6) is worth including.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 2.5 lengths third (31.53) over 545m at this track. Although unsuccessful last time still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Stick with him.
