Ballarat (G) Race 12

Pink Diamond Veterans Ht2

Prize Money: $2,925

SILKY SAUCE (6) was in the minors two back (27.64) at Horsham but ran below best last time at this track, finishing 6th. Has winning claims on his best figures. CHAPPY'S THIEF (1) was a last-start winner from the rails at Sandown over 515m (29.98), scoring by half a length. Expecting another good run. CRACKERJACK BULL (4) has a strong record this journey with three wins and a minor from six starts. Hit the frame latest (30.68) when third at The Meadows in a Grade 5. Looks well placed here and among the chances. SHANLYN SCOUT (8) is worth a look over a shorter journey this time.

Won over this track and trip. Latest effort finished 6th in a Grade 4/5 on May 30 over 450m at this track behind Motion Sensor beaten 13 lengths (25.93). Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.
