Ballarat Race 12 - Pink Diamond Veterans Ht2
SILKY SAUCE (6) was in the minors two back (27.64) at Horsham but ran below best last time at this track, finishing 6th. Has winning claims on his best figures. CHAPPY'S THIEF (1) was a last-start winner from the rails at Sandown over 515m (29.98), scoring by half a length. Expecting another good run. CRACKERJACK BULL (4) has a strong record this journey with three wins and a minor from six starts. Hit the frame latest (30.68) when third at The Meadows in a Grade 5. Looks well placed here and among the chances. SHANLYN SCOUT (8) is worth a look over a shorter journey this time.
