Ballarat Race 8

Town & Country Line Marking

Stake: $3,629

BEACH BOURBSKI (2) hit the ground running and set it up early clocking 30.00 with a 0.6 lengths win at The Meadows over 525m. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from five attempts. Ideally placed to take this out. CANYA JIVE (3) turned in a plain performance last time when sixth at Bendigo over 425m behind Paw Whistler (24.63) in a Grade 5. Placed at his previous run. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. DUNACH FIREBALL (8) finished in the placings last time but could not have been more impressive three back in his convincing 23.88 win at Bendigo over 425m. Has the ability and can find winning form again. PAW OLLIE (4) can play a role coming off a short let-up.

Strong performance leading throughout to score by a 0.6 lengths in a Grade 4 last start at The Meadows, clocking a slick 30.00 over the 525m trip. Rates a top chance again if runs up to latest.

Got back last start and could only manage fourth but before that won by 0.6 lengths at Geelong (22.79) beating Canya Jive in a Grade 5 on April 26. Prefer to watch at this stage.

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a scorching early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 2.75 lengths third (30.35) over 525m at The Meadows. Has won two races from this box. Expected to feature.
