Ballarat Race 6

Cooke & Foley Pace

Prize Money: $6,000

CALEDONIAN RANGER (2) has been racing well of late. Finished third at his latest appearance over 1609m at Geelong, beaten 7 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. LA CANTATRICE (3) finished third last start over 2190m at Maryborough, beaten 18 metres, after scoring at the previous appearance over 1720m at Melton. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Finds a nice race and can find winning form. SUPER CODE (1) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 2200m at this track last time out. Each-way claims. WOW YOU CAN DANCE (6) is worth some thought after his last-start fifth over 2200m at this track on July 23.

Last start was well beaten into fourth behind Mount Barker Boy at this track over 2200m on July 23 at $41. Performed better the start before where he won by 2.25 m after showing early speed, (Fr2) at this track (2:42.90) beating Blue Miki in on July 9 at $7 at the bell was leading 2.57. Capable of playing a major role.

Solid performance when a close second behind Longtan Viper at Warragul over 1790m on June 8 at $10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Fiction File at Geelong over 1609m on July 17 at $11. Hard to beat.

Last start was well beaten into third after showing early speed, behind Comeandsee at Maryborough over 2190m in a 2yo on May 31 at $21. Raced better the start before that where she posted a big 10 m win as favourite (Fr4) at Melton (2:04.30) beating Teerdee in 2yo on May 15 at $2.60 at the bell was leading 2.77. Capable of taking this out.

Well-beaten 33 days ago at Melton over 1720m, and two back 5th (Sr1) over 1710m at this track was 6th-11.22 at the bell, beaten 11 m by Comeandsee (2:01.90) in 2yo on June 11 at $41. This looks a far sterner test.

Returns from the paddock. At the latest first-up run 7th (Fr2) over 1609m after showing early pace at Geelong, beaten 40 m by Fearless Writer (1:54.60) on August 29 at $51. Recent trials will help bring him on but a lack of race-fitness might work against.
