Ballarat Race 7 - Southern Sheetmetal
REIKO BOOM (7) comes into this as a quickest on the card winner last time at Geelong, scoring by 7 lengths (22.34). Expected to go close again. PAW GELDOFF (2) hit the frame two back then broke through last time by 3.5 lengths (22.37) at Warrnambool over 390m. Drawn well off an inside draw. Must include in calculations. PAW FORTRESS (1) is worth forgiving last start after finishing fourth (30.24) in a Grade 7 at Sandown over 515m. Has ability and can atone. TOMMY'S WHISKY (3) should be thereabouts after filling a top-three spot most recently.

Was out of placings last time when fourth (30.24) at Sandown in a Grade 7. Will jump from box 1 for the first time. Should have the speed for this.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (22.68) over 390m at Warrnambool. Boxed awkwardly and looks safely held.
