Ballarat Race 6

Sportsbet Green Tick

Prize Money: $1,530

MAJOR ORSON (8) fast away and ran his rivals ragged to score by a space two back then hit the frame last time when third at this track (26.32) latest. Has a solid record from this box including two wins and a minor placing. Top chance in this line up. PRETTY PANAMA (2) was narrowly beaten when placing two back but missed the frame latest finishing fifth (23.28) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 at Geelong. Expecting sharp improvement this line-up. JUNGLE FIREBALL (1) turned spotting a big start finishing seventh (27.07) last time in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 at Geelong. Form here sound including four wins. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minor placings. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. REBEL THINKER (7) cannot be underestimated.

Comments

Latest effort finished 3rd over 450m at this track beaten 4 lengths (26.32) behind Snowball One in a Grade 5 on October 1. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.
