Ballarat Race 5

Izuzu Ute Pace

Prize Money: $6,000

MY ULTIMATE LUIGI NZ (2) produced a good effort to overcome a second row draw for a maiden win at his latest appearance, scoring by close 4 metres at Bendigo after making a sustained run from the back of the field. No excuses from this advantageous draw and could go through his grades. MASON JOLIE (3) came from the back line in a second-up win two back then clocked in fourth last start at Shepparton. Race fit and draws for another good showing. NICE ONE CENTURION (4) placed two back then worked but boxed on to finish 3m away last start, both from tougher draws than this. Contender. QUICK CRUNCH (5) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, recording two wins and three placings from the past five outings.

Last start 2nd (Sr2) over 1690m at Kilmore was 2nd-1.62 at the bell, beaten a nose by Riddlemethis (2:05.00) in NR up to 45 on January 22 at $8. Two runs back 12th (Sr1) over 1690m at Maryborough, well beaten by Mister Fonzi (2:00.40) in NR up to 49 on January 12 at $23. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Last start was well beaten into fourth after being driven well back, behind Quatro Moth at Shepparton over 2190m in a 3yo No NR on January 17 at $26. Raced better the start before that where he won by a head (Sr1) at Shepparton (2:43.20) beating Le Gaston in 3yo MAIDEN on January 6 at $5. Draws well and may prove hard to beat.

Freshened-up since the last run 31 days ago. Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 3 m fourth behind Champagne Walsh at Charlton over 2100m NR 45 to 52 last start. Before that was beaten 4 metres third at Geelong over 1609m in NR 46 to 52 on December 19. One of the chances.

Solid run when a close third behind Our True Colours at Maryborough over 2190m in a NR up to 50 M on January 4 at $6.50. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after being driven well back, behind Rolinginthedeep at Cranbourne over 2080m in a 0-2 WINS on January 18 at $26. Among the players.
