Ballarat Race 9 - Pink Diamond Rookie Sprinter Ht2
MEPUNGA FLYER (3) produced an impressive 24.76 to claim a Mix 6/7 FIN over 450m at this track last start. In form and looks the one to beat again. DOONGALLA ROCKET (2) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing seventh (25.70) last time in a Special conditions H at this track. Solid record here at the distance winning two races. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Great chance to atone. JULY SHE LIED (1) scored (23.17) last time out at Horsham adding to an already respectable career. Form at the trip sound including five wins. Goes very well from this draw with two wins and two minor placings from four starts. Capable of going well again. VALENZUELA (5) placed in slick time last start - worth some thought.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 6 lengths over 410m at Horsham in a handy 23.17, beating Paw Pavlov. Well suited by the draw. Has hit winning form and can measure up again.

Won again in quick time after running them ragged to make it back-to-back wins at this track over 450m (24.76). Appeals as a leading chance again.

Finished in the minors last time in a Grade 4/5 at Cannington when a 3.5 lengths second but did run a hot 29.82 for the 520m trip. Can measure up with a repeat of latest.

Could only manage third last time out over 515m at Sandown, breaking a winning sequence. Will not find this easy. Not keen.

Had been in consistent form with three minors on end before missing the frame last start when fourth (25.69) at this track. Has a solid record from out wide but looks tested this line up.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a sixth over 485m at Horsham. Likely to struggle this time.
