Ballarat Race 4

Sportsbet Ht1

Stake: $3,188

TALCOTT BALE (2) rocketed around 390m at Warrnambool in 21.93 three back then has been in the money the last two since. Rates a top chance if runs up to time three back. BLUE BLOOD (8) is having his first start around this course. In the money last start when second (22.16) at Traralgon over 395m. Will give a great sight again. DASH OF CRIMSON (1) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame from Box 7 last run (22.53) at this track. Has a strong record from box 1, including two wins. Leading player again. RUSHMORE RED (3) scored with plenty to spare last time. Right in the mix.

Hit the frame at this track last time when a 2 length third but did record a solid 22.23 over the 390m journey. Hard to top with a repeat of that run.
