Ballarat Race 10

Southern Sheetmetal

Prize Money: $3,360

WARREN'S LEDGER (4) flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 1.3 lengths third (22.01) over 390m at this track and making it two placings on end. Comes through a solid form race last start. Racing well and deserves a win. ZIPPING SMEE (6) is having his first start around this track. Comes here a last start placegetter at Nowra in a Grade 5 (20.91). Consistent performer from this draw with a win and two minor placings to his credit. Expected to be in this for a long way. OUR PATCH (1) finished well back at this track last time when a 6 length fifth (22.60) but recorded second best time of the card when winning four back. Has a good record here at this journey. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and two minor placings to his credit. Should be about the money. SHALLOW SALLY (7) boasts a solid strike-rate from this box.

Could only manage fifth last time but the start prior hit the frame when second (22.34) over 390m at this track. Has the inside draw and is worth plenty of thought.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished seventh over 400m at Geelong, beaten 9 lengths (23.09) behind Prancing Pat in a Grade 4/5 on July 10. Others make more appeal.

Was among the placegetters latest at this track when a 1.3 lengths third but did clock an excellent 22.01 for the 390m trip. Looks the one to beat with a repeat of that effort.

Placed last time (20.91) at Nowra in a Grade 5, finishing second and beaten 3.5 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Leading chance.

Did a good job two starts back at Horsham to win by 0.7 lengths in 23.42, beating Sorry I'm Late. Last start finished last in a Grade 4/5 on July 6 over 390m at this track behind I'm Fabulous beaten 10 lengths (22.65). Forget the latest effort. Among the chances.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 390m in 22.40. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when seventh over 300m at Healesville at Grade 5 level. Can't recommend in this field.
