Ballarat Race 4

Black Horse Naturals Mdn Pace

Prize Money: $6,000

SOHO MCLUCKIE (2) was a big improver at start number two when she led from this barrier and fought on for 2.2m third at Melton. Has scope for further progression so could be hard to catch this time. WOTTAWIZARD (3) has come from wider barriers in both starts so far and made good progress last time when beaten less than a metre as runner-up at Melton. Beat Soho McLuckie home there and with the aid of a lower draw and could be ready to strike. MAHEO (1) is a four-year-old daughter of Ultimate Machete on debut. Gets the ace draw and has shown enough at the trials to be competitive. MOODY MOCCA (4) started at big odds on debut but was solid in finishing fourth and draws lower.

Four-year-old mare by Ultimate Machete out of Sewplayful on debut. Finished third at Maryborough in a trial on July 5 over 2190m. Profiles nicely and from the ace draw is expected to measure up.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after being driven well back, behind Del Ray at Geelong over 1609m on July 3 at $11. Then a handy effort when a close second after being driven well back, behind High Rider at Melton over 2240m in a 2yo on July 10 at $13. With further progress likely could go one better.
