Ballarat Race 2

Sportsbet We Let The Dogs Out

Stake: $1,652

ARTICULATE (1) has an honest record despite remaining a maiden and is long overdue for a win, having placed five of eight career runs. Has placed at her last two starts now. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings two times from three starts. Key chance in this line up. BELLE RIOT (7) is yet to break through in 10 starts but has run a number of placings. Was below best latest when fourth (22.94) at this track but did hit the frame the start prior. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from four attempts. Has ability and can measure up. VALLETTA MOON (2) has mixed form recently, finishing fourth (25.20) in a Maiden at Sale latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Key player on best and worth another try. ONE STRANGE UNIT (3) with some luck can improve on an unplaced run last time here.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when third (24.10) at big odds over 410m at Horsham. Aided by a low draw and is in the mix.

Has struggled to jump cleanly in recent outings and the results have been disappointing, the most recent effort a sixth over 425m at Bendigo. Will not find this easy. Not keen.

Yet to break through after 10 starts, the most recent result a fourth (22.94) over 390m at this track. Was prominent most of the way and only faded late. Rates highly and is the one to beat.
