Ballarat Race 5

Grv Vicbred Distance Series (0-4 W) Ht1

Stake: $4,728

RAVEN'S CALL (3) Towards the tail last run at the track. Capable of a strong comeback. Expect to go close. ONE FEATHER (7) On a short turnaround. Was all too good winning last time at Mount Gambier. Has plenty of early speed. Has not missed the placings this preparation in 5 attempts. Must be considered. REGAL ALLY (4) Felt the pinch late when 3rd last time at Shepparton in 38.14s over 650m. Has run into the money on multiple occasions this campaign. Worth consideration. EMERALD DOWNS (1) Couldn't stay in touch when 8th last run at Bendigo. Can make a comeback and drawn the rails. Has the ability to take this out.

Started at $13.00 and lost ground in the run home when 8th last run at Bendigo. Can make a comeback and drawn beautifully. Serious contender.

Was $46.00 and performed below standard when 6th last run at Horsham but going up in distance. Will struggle to compete in this race.
