Ballarat (H) Race 7

Congratulations Katrina Fitzpatrick Trot

Prize Money: $7,000

KARBINE (2) has been a model of consistency of late and deserved his success last start, coming from a wider barrier to score by 3 metres at this circuit and distance. Should enjoy an economical run from this draw so may strike again. ROMANTIC NINA (3) made it three placings on the trot when runner-up to KARBINE here last week. Aided by a better draw so could turn the tables. THE SKY IS THE LIMIT (8) has been down the track in the last two outings outings but drew deep and worked last time. Recorded a series of top-three finishes prior so worth another chance. The ace draw brings CENTURION DREAM (1) into contention.

Good performance when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind The Priestess at Bendigo over 2150m in a 0W/15 0K stake on April 18 at $19. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind Karbine at this track over 2200m in a NR 50 to 55 on April 23 at $6. Winning chance.

Good run when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Prohibited Grace at Geelong over 2100m in a NR 52 to 56 on April 17 at $21. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third behind The Vicars Girl at Globe Derby Park over 2230m in a NR up to 54 on April 25 at $1.25. Going along well. Expected to be competitive again.

Didn't do much last time out, was well back in the run when 8th (Fr5) over 2100m after being wide early at Geelong, beaten 18 m by Prohibited Grace (2:43.90) in NR 52 to 56 on April 17 at $41. Before that was well back in the run when 9th (Fr4) over 2240m at Melton beaten 24 m by The Priestess (2:47.90) in NR up to 59 on April 10 at $34. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.
