Ballarat (H) Race 8

Woodlands Stud Pace

Prize Money: $4,500

SHADY DANCER (5) made it two wins and a close second from her last four outings when getting home by 2.2 metres at Yarra Valley last time. Draws a few spots wider but has the early pace to get across the field. Primary contender. THE DEMOCRAT (2) returned to winning form last start, coming from a wider draw to score by 2.6 metres. That took his record here to two wins and two placings from five attempts and he draws well. MY BUCKS NIGHT (8) is looming as a real threat after coming from this barrier and chasing well for second at Ararat last time. JEREMY LOU (4) is worth some thought off a second the last time he raced here three back.
