Ballarat Race 11 - Ballarat Function Centre
TRICK (1) boasts a strong record this journey with 11 wins and seven minors from 27 tries. Placed last time (22.14) at Shepparton in a Grade 5 FIN, finishing second and beaten 2.75 lengths. Looks the one to beat with even luck. LOVE BUG GIBLET (5) is worth forgiving last start after finishing eighth (23.00) in a Grade 5 at this track over 390m. Key runner on best form. MOLLY MCKAYLA (6) was safely held in tougher company last start after missing the jump at this track, but prior to that won by 0.7 lengths at Warrnambool (21.88) beating Paw Isla in a Free For All on October 22. Some good form is emerging from her last run. Key runner who gets her chance to atone. BENTLEY OLAF (2) has top-three aspirations after placing from this box last time.
