Ballarat (H) Race 7

Ferndale Foods Pace (2Nd Heat)

Stake: $8,800

TALLULAH LEE (4) has returned in fine order having led to score by close to 11m when resuming at Ararat. Draws a couple of spots wider but has the pace to push forward again so could go on with it. BOLRAMSKI (7) made an encouraging return after close to 14 months when he drew on the back row and chased well for a 2m second at this venue. Fitter for that and races well second-up so could progress enough to win. The form of PLAINS IN HEAVEN (8) is hard to knock, winning three in a row before going under by just a head last start. Must respect. AXE AND DEEZ (2) won the only other time he was fresh and has been readied with two trials, winning the latest.
