Ballarat Race 8

Hygain Winners Choice (Bm64)

Prize Money: $35,000

AFRICAN PIONEER (6) has won two of his past three starts, an easy maiden winner three back at Ararat and again victorious last start at Bendigo in a Bm58. Can measure up again. STEPCHILD (3) is a handy type coming off a solid win at Seymour at just his fourth start. Likely to get back from the draw but will be running on strongly. FUNNYIFITWON (1) is racing in fine form and should prove hard to beat with even luck. UNTHINKABLE (12) next best.

Recent form sound. Last start settled well back; won by 0.8 len at Bendigo Bm58 June 4 over 1600m in soft going defeating Wise Legend with 58kg at $5.50. The run before that held ground to the line 3rd of 9 at Wangaratta Bm64 on May 16 over 1590m, 0.7 len behind Crown Crusher with 58kg at $10. No reason he cannot salute again.

Last start settled towards the rear 2nd of 12 at Seymour Bm64 on June 16 over 1411m, on a slow track; 0.5 len behind Magical Land carrying 60kg at $11. Worth plenty of thought.

Comments
Form hard to fault. Comes off a 51 day let-up. Most recently 4th of 8 at Geelong 0 - 64 on May 10 over 1733m, in the wet; 5 len behind Divine Crown carrying 58.5kg at $4. The start before that ran on from midfield; 2nd of 12 at Moe Bm58 on April 25 over 1628m, slow going nose behind Fine Weather carrying 61.5kg at $4. Easily accounted for last time out but this suits.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield
