Ballarat Race 5

Ballarat To The Meadows Ht1

Stake: $3,218

MONEY PALACE (1) boasts a strong record this journey with three wins and three minors from eight tries. Missed the frame latest (30.09) when sixth over 515m at Sandown in a R/A FIN. Looks the one to beat with even luck. REIKO TEDESCO (3) comes off an average run last start when seventh at Warrnambool over 450m behind Dollar Bucks (25.95) in a Grade 5. Likely to be about the money. PRETTY HOT (8) was narrowly beaten when placing two back but missed the frame latest finishing fourth (31.36) in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Well placed here and should do much better. PRETTY PANAMA (2) is worth some thought after placing in an impressive time last start.

Missed the frame latest (30.09) when sixth over 515m at Sandown in a R/A FIN. Has one win and three placings from six starts from the draw. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Won two starts back at Warrnambool over 450m in 25.91. Followed that up with a minor placing over 450m at this track at Grade 5 four days ago. Looks a solid contender.

Finished third last start (25.99) at big odds over 460m at Warragul. Awkward draw to overcome. Will need plenty of luck.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last five starts. Last time out finished 3rd on April 4 over 425m at Bendigo behind Paw Tonk beaten 7 lengths (24.39) in a Grade 5. Likely to struggle this time.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (31.36) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 4 length fourth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed four times. Looks suited and should go close.
