Ballarat Race 8

Ballarat Enduro Series Final

Prize Money: $7,325

HOUSE OF SINS (5) turned in a modest effort most recently when seventh at The Meadows over 600m behind Vista Weird (35.03) in a Grade 4/5. Was a winner prior to that. Won at his only start from this draw. Should bounce back. NO STOP SIGNS (6) was in the money last time at Sandown (29.78) in a Grade 5 H, finishing a 2.25 lengths third. Already a winner from this draw. Looks suited here and can measure up. REGAL SPENCER (1) hit the frame latest (30.96) when third at this track in a Special conditions race. Has four wins already from this draw.

Comments

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 3.5 lengths third (30.96) over 545m at this track. Has a very good strike-rate out of box 1, scoring four times. Among the chances.

Has hit the frame the last couple. Finished third at Warrnambool latest but prior to that clocked a hot 30.88 over 545m finishing second at this track. Harder here and one for the multiples.

Strongly fancied last time and hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but could manage only third (29.78) at Sandown over 515m. Has run blistering time here with a 30.69 PB at the distance. Hard to beat.

Working his way into winning form after his success on July 19 at Mt Gambier over 512m. Last start was second over 545m in 30.77, behind Black Star Riot. Boxed on well last time to hit the frame. Rates highly again.

Comments

Could manage only fifth last time but impressed the start prior when he clocked an outstanding 30.98 over 545m finishing second at this track. This tougher and prefer for a place this time.
