Ballarat Race 8

Life Members Trophy (250+Rank) Ht4

Prize Money: $1,530

JAZZY HOPE (8) rocketed out of the inside draw with a strong early sectional and gave a sight but had to settle for a placing, finishing third (26.17) at Geelong over 460m. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from four attempts. Can go on with it. ON THE GREEN (4) has a strong record here with three wins and a minor from five starts. Missed the frame latest (29.25) when sixth over 510m at Sale in a Grade 5 FIN. Looks suited here and can measure up. ASTON REEVES (5) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fifth (25.80) in a Grade 5 at Shepparton. Solid record at the distance winning two races. Should play a prominent role. NORBIT (1) is worth consideration.

Got back last start and could only manage seventh but before that won easily by 3 lengths at this track (25.84) beating Ian Albert in a Maiden H on May 7. Is a danger.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish third (22.32) at Shepparton over 390m. Looks a solid hope.

Missed the frame last time but the start prior clocked a slick 28.74 over 510m finishing second at Sale. Hard to top on the time from two back.

Latest effort finished 5th over 450m at Shepparton beaten 5.5 lengths (25.80) behind Paw Illabo in a Grade 5 on May 15. Leading chance who should prove hard to beat.

Was out of the placings last time at Geelong but prior to that had been racing consistently, notching three minors in a row. Boxed out wide and appears tested on latest effort.
