Ballarat Race 10

Southern Sheetmetal

Prize Money: $2,925

IMPEL (5) was game in defeat at the latest run, finishing second and beaten 1.75 lengths (23.01) behind Aston Advance at Geelong. Leading chance again. BELLE EXTRA (7) doesn't have the best strike-rate. Better run when finding the frame last time though, finishing third (25.71) at Shepparton. Has a good record here including two wins. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and two minor placings to his credit. Can measure up. ARANDT ABOUT (2) started big odds but ran a huge race last time when finishing 3rd over 450m at Shepparton (25.85)in Grade 4/5. Was a winner the start prior in easier at this track. Has a good record here including four wins. Will give a great sight again. BOMBARDA MAXIMA (1) did the right thing for favourite backers last time - sure to feature again.

Comments

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 9 length third (25.85) over 450m at Shepparton. Rates highly on best form. Expected to feature.
