Stake: -

BELLA STELLA (8) has a strong winning strike-rate this journey here having won two of four starts. Below best last time at Ballarat (23.33) in a Grade 5, finishing a 14 length seventh. Looks the one to beat with even luck. DINOSAUR (5) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, most recently finishing 3rd at this track over 400m. Bold showing expected. PAW TIKA (2) was out of the frame here most recently but can atone.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors two back when third (22.65) over 390m at Ballarat. Aided by a low draw and is worth plenty of thought.

Scored by 2.25 lengths last time (22.30) in a Grade 5 over 390m at Ballarat. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minors. Tough field and looking to others this time.

Is back from a 11 weeks spell after falling at this track last time but prior to that finished third in a Grade 5. Chance to atone but prepared to risk this line-up.
