Ballarat Race 8

Sportsbet Blackbook (300+ Rank)

Stake: $1,879

MANDOLIN STORM (3) turned in a plain effort last time when sixth at Warrnambool over 450m behind Moraine Sadie (26.13) in a Grade 5. Has claims if she runs up to expectations. MADDIE ODD SOCK (2) was well back throughout but attacked the line strongly to place, 4 lengths from the winner (29.10) at Bendigo in Grade 5 H NP. Leading chance. COUNTY TYRONE (1) doesn't win out of turn. Hit the board with a minor placing last time when second (25.83) at Warrnambool. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Expected to feature again. TOM'S BOURBSKI (8) is a last-start placegetter with solid claims again.

Produced a good effort last start to finish fourth over 500m at Bendigo, beaten 2.75 lengths (28.80) behind Bag Of Snags in a Grade 5 H NP on June 6. Would be better placed in something easier.
