Ballarat (H) Race 1

Bettors Delight Free For All

Prize Money: $17,500

TRIPLE EIGHT (11) enjoys a class drop on his last attempt in the Bendigo Cup when he worked form the back row. Draws there again but had won four of his previous six so is much better placed. LITTLE LOUIE (9) hasn't raced since his fifth in the Vicbred Super Series 4EG Final in September to follow a win in a semi-final of that series. Strikes at 50 per cent when fresh and was readied with a solid trial. GHOST OF TIME (12) broke when midfield in the Hamilton Cup last start but has won three of four attempts at this circuit and distance. TIGER BAND WAGON (2) had a tough draw in the Hamilton Cup so it may pay to forgive that. Placed in his previous two so is worth another chance. CATALPA RESCUE (8) has a solid fresh record and has trialled so keep safe.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4 m fourth behind Dee Roe at Hamilton over 2660m NR up to 105 last start. Before that was beaten 1.75 metres second at Cranbourne over 2080m in NR 70 to 89 on December 28. One of the chances.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following December 7 run. Last start posted a big 6 m win (Sr2) at Melton (2:02.00) beating Telemachus in NR up to 90 on December 31 at $3.30. This race will be harder than that win. Prefer others on this occasion.

Failed to impress last start; 10th (Sr2) over 2650m at Bendigo was 6th-9.4m 2WWC at the bell, beaten 13 m by Bulletproof Boy (3:10.50) in G2 No NR on January 4 at $9.50. Showed ability the outing before when he posted a big 9 m win as favourite (Fr7) at Geelong (1:52.70) beating Tiger Band Wagon in No NR on December 20 at $1.80. Much better placed so can return to winning form.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
