Ballarat (G) Race 2

Southern Sheetmetal

Prize Money: $1,530

MAXIMUM SILVER (8) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (22.95) in a Bottom Up - Grade 7 at Warrnambool. Tough to beat if on-song. DOONGALLA SHAZIA (6) chased the lead early from the inside and boxed on well to finish second, beaten 4.5 lengths (22.61) at Warrnambool in a Bottom Up - Grade 7 over 390m. Can measure up. GOTHAM SORCERESS (1) doesn't have the best strike-rate. Finished in the minors latest when second (23.51) at Warragul and may be close to breaking through. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings six times from 10 attempts. Must be included in calculations. ALWAYS BELIEVE (2) is a chance after winning last time.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Bendigo over 425m. Last start finished 3rd in a T3 RSTW on September 14 over 450m at this track behind Alfie Tango beaten 4.5 lengths (26.04). Hasn't been far away. Don't underestimate.
