Ballarat Race 4 - Southern Sheetmetal

TRICKY DISCO (4) posted a dominant 21.94 winning over 390m at this track last start. Hot win latest and looks the one to beat again. SHIMA STRIPE (1) has been in the frame at his last two runs, most recently when third (22.33) in a Grade 5 over 390m at this track. Well placed here and can atone this time. BABY BEETS (6) ran well two back when hitting the frame then out of the placings at Warrnambool latest but returns to a course where he has performed well. Can hit the frame this time. MYRNIONG STORM (3) has strong claims after a top-three finish last time out.
