Ballarat Race 8

Town & Country Line Marking (275+Rank)

Prize Money: $1,530

DAD'S JAM DONUT (5) box seated off the lead and kept coming to win (24.76) at Sale in Grade 5 FIN over 435m. Makes plenty of appeal if runs up to latest. NED THE KNIGHT (1) is mixing form lately, finishing out of the placings last time at Bendigo but was a Grade 5 winner two back at Bendigo. Can turn it around this time. DELICIOUS (2) produced a modest effort most recently when sixth at The Meadows over 525m behind Foxy Roxy (30.84) in a Grade 5. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Leading chance. SMOKIN' ARROW (7) can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Won two starts back over 425m at Bendigo. Last start he finished 5th over 425m at Bendigo beaten 5.5 lengths (24.63) behind Goosebumps Rico in a Grade 5 on June 25. Draw likely to suit. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.

Good effort to win last start by a neck over 425m at Bendigo in a handy (24.52), beating Hard Compass. Will find this a bit tougher, others hold stronger claims.

Solid performance after racing just off the speed to win by 1.1 lengths at Sale over 435m (24.76) beating Parumba Dawn in Grade 5 FIN on June 27. Key chance on that latest effort.
