Ballarat Race 10

Gcv #13Strong

Prize Money: $1,530

KATE'S RIFT (2) missed the frame last time when fifth (19.89) at Healesville but prior to that had three placings in a row. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from six attempts. Should be very hard to beat this time. MONARCH (1) turned in a modest effort most recently when eighth at Shepparton over 450m behind Graffiti (26.28) in a Mix 6/7. Was in the money prior to that. Strong form has emerged from her last run. Can figure in the finish. SURGING (6) turned in a good run last time, finishing in the placings (22.56) at Shepparton in a Mix 6/7. Lines up from box 6 for the first time. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Likely to be in the finish again. LAKEVIEW MITCH (7) placed last time from this box - worth considering.

Has finished sixth at her last couple of starts, most recently at this track over 390m. Would be better placed in something easier.

Racing well without winning, recording three minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when second (22.56) over 390m at Shepparton. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Follow up.
