Ballarat Race 7 - Sportsbet Feed (1-2 Wins)

GRAVY TRAIN (8) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fourth (26.37) in a T3 Grade 7 at this track. Yet to score from this box but has never missed the frame in two starts. Better than last start and worth following up. HARTLAND BUDDY (1) is worth forgiving last start after finishing fifth (24.67) in a T3 RSTW at Bendigo over 425m. Should be thereabouts. ZIPPING WINDSOR (6) finds it hard to break through. Finished in the money last time though when second (26.12) at Geelong. Can feature again. DAD'S PLUM SAUCE (2) missed the placings here most recently but can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Last start finished last on March 30 over 450m at this track behind Kokeri beaten 10 lengths (26.25) in a T3 Grade 6. Mixing her form but shapes as a genuine chance under these conditions.

Form has been solid with minor placings at her last three starts. Last time out finished 3rd over 450m at this track beaten 5.5 lengths (25.89) behind Kokeri in a T3 Grade 6 on March 30. Capable of a good showing.
