Ballarat Race 7

Sportsbet Fast Form (1-5 Wins)

Prize Money: $3,340

STARBORN (1) was below best latest but did hit the frame in quick time two back when third (29.72) at Sandown in a Restricted WIN. Likely to improve sharply this time. SOCIALISM (2) has been in the money at her last two runs, most recently when third (30.75) in a Grade 5 over 525m at The Meadows. Can hit the frame this time. COUSIN JOHNNY (5) comes into this as a quickest on the card winner last time at Bendigo, scoring by 6 lengths (28.36). Leading player again. REV GORDON (7) cannot be underestimated.

Comments

Missed the frame last start when a 6 length fifth (35.06) at The Meadows. Previous form sound including a win three back at Sandown. Looks a definite winning chance on best and given another chance.

Last start finished 3rd over 525m at The Meadows beaten 3.5 lengths (30.75) behind Honest Beers in a Grade 5 on June 24. Around the mark two starts back. Winning chance on that form.

Good effort to win last start by 6 lengths over 500m at Bendigo in a handy (28.36), beating Centrefold Sal. In winning form and can measure up again.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when third (27.70) at big odds over 485m at Horsham. Tough draw to overcome but can measure up.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 545m at this track. Looks up against it this time.
