Ballarat Race 6 - Southern Sheetmetal
SON OF WITCHY (7) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fifth (26.59) in a Rank Limit - Grade 5 at Geelong. Solid record here winning two races. Has ability and can bounce back. NO MORE EXTRAS (1) turned spotting a big start finishing seventh (25.92) last time in a Grade 5 H at this track. Form at the trip sound including five wins. Cannot be taken lightly. JUNGLE FIREBALL (5) finds it hard to break through. Has been in the minors the last two runs, the latest finishing second (26.38) at Geelong. Has a good record here at this journey. Expected to feature. LEON'S ENTITY (8) can measure up with the right run. Something for the Multiples: FIRE UP MARK (2)
