Ballarat Race 8

Town & Country Line Marking (300+Rank)

Stake: $1,683

OUR ALAMO (3) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by 8 lengths at Warrnambool in a handy 25.64 beating Indy Delta. Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to his name from six starts. One of the key runners again. PRETTY PANAMA (4) jumped from this box and scored in quick time latest (25.91) at Warrnambool over 450m in a Grade 5. This tougher but expected to be in the finish. NED THE KNIGHT (1) filled a minor placing last start at Shepparton behind County Kildare (25.79) in a Grade 5. Has the pace to be prominent. Expected to be in the finish again. BERN'S BANJO (7) generally performs well from this box.

Ran a better race when second behind County Kildare at Shepparton last start over 450m (25.79). Likely to play a major role.

Backs up after finishing 7th on April 7 over 460m at Geelong in a Grade 5. Will not find this easy. Not keen.

Hit the ground running last time with a fast early split and never headed, leading throughout to win by 8 lengths (25.64) over 450m at Warrnambool. Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Shepparton over 450m in 25.92. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when seventh over 450m at this track at Grade 5 level. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Hit the frame latest (26.07) when third at this track in a Grade 5. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and five places from 14 starts. Looking to others.
