Ballarat Race 14

Stake: $3,393

CHILLI CRUMPET (8) is looking to continue her winning ways off an enormous 21.90 victory at Shepparton. In form and looks the one to beat again. TICK RETURNS (4) comes here following a placing in slick time (22.24) over 390m at this track. Has the ability and can measure up. UPTOWN SALLY (6) turned in a plain run last time when sixth at Shepparton over 390m behind Not Sorry (22.72) in a Grade 5. Was a winner the start prior. Form from her last run is proving to be solid. Cannot be taken lightly. VALLETTA DASH (3) should bounce back after an unplaced effort here recently.

Won two starts back at Healesville over 300m in 17.40. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when sixth over 390m at Shepparton at Grade 5 level. Didn't show up last start but give her another chance.
