Ballarat Race 4

Happy Horse Produce

Prize Money: $3,340

ASCEND GERANIUM (4) lines up here off a comfortable win at The Meadows after jumping from box 7 (34.55). Will need some luck early after drawing a tricky box here. Has performed well from this box with a win and five minor placings to his name from seven starts. Will go close again if runs up to latest. AMRON DANCER (8) comes off an average performance last start when sixth at Geelong over 460m behind Impetuously (25.93) in a Grade 4/5. Can measure up this time. DEVIL'S SYMPATHY (5) has some solid form under his belt and proved too strong last time to win by 2 lengths at Bendigo in a handy 28.18 beating Stipulated. Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. Form should stack up. REGAL SPENCER (7) can play a role in the finish without surprising.

Improved two runs back to score then won again last start over 500m at Bendigo (28.18), beating Stipulated. Among the chances and worth following up.

Goes well at this track and trip. At the last outing finished 4th on October 17 over 525m at The Meadows behind Rocky Superstar beaten 1.75 lengths (30.63) in a Grade 5. Has run blistering time here with a 30.96 PB at the distance. Must include if he recaptures that form.

Last start finished 6th over 460m at Geelong beaten 6 lengths (25.93) behind Impetuously in a Grade 4/5 on October 16. Has performed below expectations at his last couple but is capable of far better.
