Ballarat Race 6

Ballarat Tier 3 Cup Prelude 11

Prize Money: $1,740

METEOROLOGY (4) has a strong record here with three wins and a minor from seven starts. Below best last time at this track (31.80) in a Grade 5, finishing a 7 length sixth. Looks well placed and should feature. ASTON TERESA (7) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 8th at Healesville following on from a second place finish (31.51) at this track the start prior. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings three times from four starts. Key runner who gets her chance to atone. CHERRY PIE (8) is going well, finishing in the placings twice in a row. Not beaten far last time when a 1.5 lengths third (26.21) in a Rank Limit - Grade 5 at Geelong. Key player on best and worth another try. OLLIE REIKO (2) is worth consideration.

Was out of placings last time (19.61) at Healesville in a Grade 4/5, finishing eighth and beaten 9 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting three places from four starts. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.
