Ballarat Race 4 - Mortimer Petroleum Mdn Plate
Tough race. KILLENAULE (2) was okay at his Australian debut at Ararat over 1300m, finding them a bit sharp after getting back in the run. Stepping out in trip now is a big tick for him and his jumpouts suggested he's acclimatised well. He can improve. SHARE THE PENNIES (10) has been good in two runs back and should be peaking out to a mile now. The winkers go on for the first time and Bates has options from the draw. She can put her best foot forward. NIGHTOWL (3) was just fair at his Australian debut but this is easier and his NZ form prior was solid. EPOCH (1) finished off nicely off a short break at Werribee and can only be better for that effort.

Last start got back early 8th of 12 at Sandown-Hillside Mdn-Sw on February 4 over 1600m, 4.5 len behind Kaye Jay with 59.5kg at $11. The start before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 11 at Tauherenikau Mdn-Sw on December 10 over 1600m, nose behind Unusual Invader with 58.5kg at $2.70. Can be a quick improver.

Gelding by Shalaa on debut. Fitter for a jump-out on February 5 at Ballarat when finished fifth. Trained here and breaks from a low barrier draw but looks tested this line-up.

Last start rolled along in front then was edged out late 3rd of 10 at Colac Mdn-Sw on February 6 over 1600m, 0.7 len behind Valiant Sun carrying 57.5kg at $2.80. The run before that sat behind the speed prior to fading 9th of 11 at Warrnambool Mdn-Sw on January 11 over 1700m, 7 len behind Cosmic with 57.5kg at $5.50. Doesn't need to improve much to take this out.
