Ballarat Race 4

Grv Vicbred Series Final

Prize Money: $9,575

BLESSED RAIN (7) broke well and quickly mustered speed to win over the 400m at Warragul two runs back then settled forward again when finishing second at this track last start. Leading chance again. LIGHTNING RANGE (3) flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 2.5 lengths third (22.10) over 390m at this track and making it two placings on end. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Ready to find winning form. HIJACK (5) is a handy dog who jumped from box 5 last time out and scored by 6 lengths at this track (21.93). Boasts three wins from four starts out of this box. Can continue on with his winning form. ESSENCE (1) saluted at big odds last time and can measure up again.

Form has been good with a placing two starts ago and a win three runs back. Last time out finished 3rd over 425m at Bendigo beaten 3 lengths (24.16) behind Pegasus Bale in a Grade 5 on April 13. Likely to struggle this time.

Finished in the minors last time but the start prior was an eye-catching winner after leading throughout, scoring by 2.5 lengths in a Free For All at Warragul and clocking a lightning 22.25 over the 400m trip. Rates a top chance if runs up to time two back.
