Ballarat Race 8

Sweet Netty's Catering

Stake: $1,652

PRETTY CAPRI (2) has a terrific record this track and trip with two wins and two placings from four starts. Hit the frame latest (25.82) when second at this track in a Grade 5. Expected to be in the finish. WESTERN EMPIRE (7) has missed the frame at his last couple but did finish in the minors in quick time three back (31.57) at this track in a Grade 5. Can hit the frame this time. TOP SPEED GEAR (6) finds it hard to break through. Finished in the minors latest when second (25.99) at Shepparton and may be close to breaking through. Solid record at the distance winning six races. Expected to feature. URANO BALE (1) found the frame here last start and looks a top-three hope again.

In the money last time at this track (25.82) in a Grade 5, finishing a 0.8 lengths second. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and five places from 11 starts. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won by a neck at Sale (24.80) beating Arkstorm in a Grade 5 on May 21. Solid claims this line-up.

Was out of placings last time (30.36) at Sandown in a Grade 5 NP, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths. Has never missed the frame from four starts from the draw, including a win. Looks a key chance on best form.
