Ballarat Race 8

Southern Sheetmetal

Stake: -

LAMIA ERNIE (2) has a moderate overall strike-rate. Better run when finding the frame last time though, finishing third (26.46) at Geelong. Form at the trip sound including six wins. Will give a great sight again. SHE'S ON BOOST (7) finds it hard to break through. Hit the board with a minor placing last time when second (31.29) at The Meadows. Solid record here winning two races. Can feature again. ON SONG ICE (8) cannot be underestimated. Something for the Multiples: REGAL BARRY (5)

In the money last time at Geelong (26.46) in a Grade 5, finishing a 1.3 lengths third. Goes well out of this box with a win and eight minors. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Comes off a (24.49) win last time, scoring by 0.9 lengths in a Grade 5 over 425m at Bendigo. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minors. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish second (31.29) at The Meadows over 525m. In the money last time and looks well placed to go one better.

Has struggled to jump cleanly in recent outings and the results have been disappointing, the most recent effort a sixth over 390m at Shepparton. Can't recommend against this lot.
