Ballarat Race 6

A1 Signage (1-3 Wins)

Prize Money: $1,740

JULEA RUSLIE (6) hit the ground running from out wide last start and crossed down to lead throughout (28.70) at Bendigo in a Bottom Up - Restricted Win over 500m. Ideally placed to take this out. PUNCH DRUNK LOVE (8) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing sixth (25.21) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 at Bendigo. Some good form is emerging from her last run. Shapes as one to consider. SHE REACTS (1) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at this track over 450m behind Paw Urla (25.93) in a Mix 6/7. Has the ability to give this a shake. DAD'S PLUM SAUCE (2) is worth consideration.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished 5th on July 8 over 450m at this track behind Paw Urla beaten 7 lengths (25.93) in a Mix 6/7. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.

Finished in the minors at big odds last time when third (29.07) at Bendigo, making it two placings on end. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Has to do a bit more.

Good performance to win by 2.5 lengths at Bendigo over 500m (28.70) beating Patty Bouvier in Bottom Up - Restricted Win on July 1. Was strong in the market and scored a soft win most recently. Stay with her.

Nearing another win after claiming his maiden success on June 8 at this track over 450m. Last start was third over 545m in 31.99, behind Starborn. Thereabouts of late and can feature with the right run.
