Ballarat Race 14 - Ballarat Race 14
QUICK AUSSIE (7) was safely held last time out, finishing sixth at Geelong over 400m behind Aston Monsoon (23.66) in a Grade 5. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Should be very hard to beat this time. ASTON FLAMENCO (2) doesn't have the best strike-rate but recent form is sound. Has been in the money the last three starts, the latest when second (22.72) at this track. Form here sound including two wins. Expected to be in this for a long way. LITTLE DARL (1) has missed the frame at her last couple but wasn't beaten far three back when second (24.44) at Bendigo in a Grade 5. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. ENERGISER DASH (3) has been in the placings at her last two runs, most recently when third (24.88) in a Grade 5 over 425m at Bendigo.

Last start finished 7th over 390m at this track beaten 19 lengths (23.13) behind Idyllic James in a Special conditions Veteran race on October 7. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Racing well without winning, recording three minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when second (22.72) over 390m at this track. Speedy conveyance who looks hard to beat.

In the money last time at Bendigo (24.88) in a Grade 5, finishing a 3 length third. Has two wins and three placings from six starts from the draw. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.
