Ballarat Race 6

Ballarat Function Centre

Prize Money: $3,340

RAYA STAR (1) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (34.85) in a Grade 5 at Sandown. Has never missed the frame here from four starts. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Can discover winning form. QUEEN KIMETTO (3) finished fourth last time (35.39) at The Meadows after winning at her previous two outings. Cannot be taken lightly. UNDERWAY (2) has missed the frame at his last two but did run well three back when second (34.51) in a Grade 4/5 at Sandown. Can feature with the right run. JED'S MEMORY (6) cannot be ruled out.

Comments

Didn't make the placings last time at Sandown (35.45) in a Grade 5, finishing a 19 length sixth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Latest effort finished 4th on June 21 over 600m at The Meadows behind Lanfranco beaten 6 lengths (35.39) in a Mix 3/4. Has been around the mark at her last couple and should make her presence felt.

Could only manage sixth last time but the start prior hit the frame when second (31.57) over 545m at this track. Has a squeeze box to navigate but is worth plenty of thought.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior was just edged out when second (30.30) over 525m at The Meadows. Has a wide draw to navigate but in the mix on his best form.
