Ballarat (G) Race 7

Southern Sheetmetal

Prize Money: $1,530

BLUER THAN BLUE (2) produced a moderate effort last time when seventh at Warrnambool over 450m behind Lassard (26.29) in a Grade 5. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings six times from 10 starts. Looks the one to beat on his best form. REMI JOY (5) was sent out at big odds from this same box last time but ran above herself when a 4 length third (19.87) at Healesville in Bottom Up - Grade 5. Expecting another bold showing. LEKTRA OTIS (4) wasn't far away at the finish when 4th and beaten only 5 lengths (25.86) at Shepparton. In the mix. OUT THE WINDOW (8) can find the frame without surprising.

Didn't make the placings last time at Warrnambool (26.29) in a Grade 5, finishing a 8 length seventh. Has six minors from 10 starts from box 2. Looks a leading chance.

Has finished fourth at his last couple of starts, most recently at Shepparton over 450m. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

In the money last time at Healesville (19.87) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5, finishing a 4 length third. Has performed well off the draw with a win and two places from four starts. Looks suited and should go close.

Strong performance after racing just off the speed to win by 1.4 lengths at Bendigo over 425m (24.33) beating Market Jet in Bottom Up - Grade 5 on March 3. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.
