GOING:

BALLARAT GROUND WORKS TROT 2200m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 22)    

PROHIBITED GRACE (4) produced a strong performance last week when she scored by 5 metres at Geelong. Should have no excuses from this advantageous draw. Can strike again. KAMARAN (7) brings strong standing start form having recorded back-to-back wins before breaking early but recovering to place at Hamilton last start. Could measure up again. JAYS ALL THAT (6) was checked and broke at the latest appearance but came from this barrier when kicking off his campaign with a Cranbourne win three back so is capable on his day. NIGHT FLIGHT (5) draws wider but is worth thought off a last-start win by 3 metres at Geelong.
