Ballarat Race 4

Natures Cargo Pace

Prize Money: $7,000

The form of CHASING REX (9) is hard to knock with two wins and two minor placings from the past five starts. Came from a similar draw last time when a head from the winner in second at Bendigo. With even luck he can take care of this line-up. SPORTSBOU (5) led last time out and saluted in a nice return to form at Stawell, getting home by a head for her third success from her last five outings. Draws wider but is going well. NOSWEETSFORYOU (3) gets the aid of a good barrier and is right in the mix after finishing runner-up for the second time in a row last start. RUEBE STARBUCK (6) has upside and can progress off a resuming win at Cranbourne.

Didn't do much at the last run, 10th (Fr5) over 1720m after being wide early at Melton beaten 20 m by Look Like Diamonds (2:02.60) in 0W/15 0K stake on March 22 at $71. Before that was well back in the run when 6th (Fr7) over 2180m at Terang, beaten 9 m by Spirit Of Pearl (2:40.80) in NR 55 to 64 on February 14 at $16. Cannot enthuse on what we have seen of late.

Good performance when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second behind Pesci at Ararat over 2195m in a 0W/15 0K stake on February 28 at $3.60. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Momentum Shift at Bendigo over 1650m in a NR 56 to 62 on March 12 at $1.75. Top chance.
