Ballarat Race 8

Southern Sheetmetal

Prize Money: $1,530

ELEVENTH SCOTCH (6) was well backed last start but ran below expectations when fourth (22.87), beaten 6 lengths. Has ability and looks hard to stop. ASTON MONSOON (5) turned in a plain performance last time when fifth at Geelong over 460m behind Doongalla Gem (26.33) in a Rank Limit - Grade 5. Comes through a solid form race last start. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. REBEL THINKER (1) had been in super honest form hitting the frame two times on end before finishing seventh (27.97) at Horsham last time. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Can measure up this time. PAW LAMPADES (7) should be thereabouts.

Latest effort finished last on June 30 over 485m at Horsham behind Miner Mick beaten 10 lengths (27.97) in a Grade 4/5. Tipped to improve sharply. Rates highly on best form.

Missed the frame latest (28.63) when fourth over 500m at Bendigo in a Grade 5. Has three successes and three minors from eight starts from box 2. Looks a place chance at best.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when second (17.75) over 305m at Mt Gambier. Has a squeeze box to navigate but is worth plenty of thought.

Last start finished 5th on June 30 over 460m at Geelong behind Doongalla Gem beaten 8 lengths (26.33) in a Rank Limit - Grade 5. Solid formlines coming through that last run. Looks a major player.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th in a Rank Limit - Restricted Win on July 6 over 390m at this track behind Blame Margaret beaten 6 lengths (22.87). Placed two back at Bendigo. Should be right in the finish.

Missed the frame latest (26.23) when seventh over 450m at this track in a Grade 5. Has three placings from six starts from the draw. Looks one of the chances.

Comments

Was sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 3.5 lengths fourth (25.93) over 450m at this track. Not among the main chances this time.

Expected Early Speed:Front Runner
