Ballarat Race 6

Prize Money: $3,875

CACO MISSILE (2) was out of character last run when missing the frame, finishing sixth (28.45) in a R/A FIN at Bendigo. Generally a good beginner but was buried in the ruck off the inside last time. Can discover winning form. NIGEL DEVERE (3) is having his first start around this circuit. In the money last start when second (34.41) at Sandown over 595m. Will give a great sight again. CHARENTE JEWEL (1) has mixed form recently, finishing sixth (38.30) in a Restricted WIN at Warrnambool latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Key player on best and worth another try. MAXIMUM REED (4) won last start after racing on the pace. Hard to beat again.

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a one length second (34.41) over 595m at Sandown and making it two placings on end. Boxed on well at the latest run to hit the frame. Leading player.

Sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional and went on to clock 34.83 in a 1.75 lengths win at The Meadows over 600m. In form and is right in the mix again.
