Ballarat Race 6

Life Members Trophy (250+Rank) Ht2

Prize Money: $1,530

SORRY I'M LATE (4) has been hard to follow lately, running fourth (31.26) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at Sandown. Likely to improve sharply this time. OUT THE WINDOW (8) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (25.61) from Box 7 at this track. Has a solid record from this box including two wins and a minor placing. Expected to be in this for a long way. PYRENEES BLAZER (1) has missed the placings at his last couple but was in the money three back when second (22.61) at this track in a Grade 5. Has the ability and expected to do much better. SPICE ROAD (2) drops in journey and is not to be underestimated.

Got off the mark three back with his maiden win at this track. Placed following that before a last start sixth at The Meadows. Capable and may well bounce back this time.

Good effort to win last start by 3.5 lengths over 410m at Horsham in a handy (23.58), beating Sharpen Up. Was strong in the market last start won accordingly. Worth following.

Found the going tougher last start when second over 450m at this track. That followed a win two back in 28.74 beating Can't Park There over 500m at Bendigo. Others preferred on this occasion.
