Ballarat Race 6

Prize Money: $1,530

COSMIC REWARD (1) struggled to get involved last start after drifting back at Bendigo, but prior to that won by a neck at Shepparton (22.42) beating Ivory Quill in a Grade 5 on September 2. Goes well out of this box with a win and five minor placings. Has ability and can bounce back. STARBRIGHT HUD (2) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, the latest scoring at Warrnambool over 450m. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. TALTARNI BLUE (7) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fifth (26.01) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Shapes as one to consider. SUPER SEAFARER (3) is another with top-three prospects.

Comments

Won two starts back over 390m at Shepparton. Last start he finished 5th in a Grade 5 on September 12 over 425m at Bendigo behind Goosebumps Rico beaten 5.5 lengths (24.76). Draw likely to suit. The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.

Good effort to score just five days ago over 450m at Warrnambool by a nose in a Bottom Up - Grade 5. In-form and measures right up. Hard to beat.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won by 0.8 lengths at Bendigo (28.42) beating Sunny Stride in a Grade 5 on August 26. Major threat on best form.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 460m at Geelong. Others hold stronger claims.

Charged out of the boxes with a fast early split and led for much of the way before being grabbed late, finishing a nose second at this track over 450m in 25.82. Top-three hope with the right run.

Last start finished 5th on September 14 over 450m at this track behind Off The Beer beaten 7 lengths (26.01) in a Grade 5. Capable of a strong show.
