Ballarat Race 12

Two More Races To Go

Prize Money: $1,530

OLLIE REIKO (2) has a fair record and proved too strong last time to win by 2 lengths at this track in a handy 26.03 beating Mombasa's Best. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Expected to measure up again. GLIMMER OF HOPE (7) was midfield throughout and finished there last time when 5th (22.76) at Warrnambool. Has ability and can measure up. SAND DUNES (1) boasts strong form at this course and distance having won two times from three starts. Hit the frame latest (23.21) when third at Warragul in a Grade 5. Can feature in the finish. SIR STARBUCK (8) looks an each-way chance.

Was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, weakening late to finish a 1.75 lengths fourth (22.81) over 390m at Warrnambool. Solid showing expected.
