Ballarat Race 9

Town & Country Line Marking

Prize Money: $1,530

MEPUNGA POWER (7) is better than last start when fourth (30.57) in a Maiden FIN at The Meadows over 525m. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. COPPERHEAD DASH (6) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing seventh (25.03) in a T3 Grade 7 at Bendigo. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. DIMORA STRIPEY (8) jumped from this box and scored a Maiden win at Warrnambool over 390m latest (22.75). Has a consistent record off this same draw, including a win and one minors. Can measure up again. BARELLEN SILK (1) has ability and can feature with the right run after missing a cheque here most recently.

Last start finished 4th on May 24 over 525m at The Meadows behind Cleo's Star beaten 6 lengths (30.57) in a Maiden FIN. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Solid performance after tracking the speed to win by a neck at Warrnambool over 390m (22.75) beating Buck Rodgers in Maiden on May 26. Was strong in the market and scored a soft win most recently. Stay with her.
