Ballarat Race 11

Sportsbet Ht3

Stake: $3,188

BORACAY STORM (1) hit the frame latest (25.40) when third at Warrnambool in a Grade 4/5. Has already won three times from this draw. Appeals as a leading chance in this. CALL ME MARLEY (5) was a last-start winner from the rails at Bendigo over 425m (24.30), scoring by 2.75 lengths. Expected to be in the finish. BLACK VIPER (6) ran good time (22.62) winning a Grade 5 two back at Warragul but last start was in traffic and fell. Looks suited here and worth another try. WESTERN'S BEAR (8) can improve on an unplaced run here last time out.

Hit the frame latest (25.40) when third at Warrnambool in a Grade 4/5. Goes very well off the draw boasting three wins and three places from six starts. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a 1.2 lengths second over 410m Horsham in 23.54. Should be around the mark.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 1.3 lengths second at Sale but did record a good 24.53 over the 435m journey. Expecting another bold showing.

Good performance to win by 2.75 lengths at Bendigo over 425m (24.30) beating Uncle Rosco in Free For All on June 28. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Healesville over 300m in 16.85. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when sixth over 390m at this track at Grade 4/5 level. Look for improvement. Not out of it.
