Ballarat Race 1 - 14 Races Tonight (0-1 Win)
KOPACKI RIT (7) turned in a fair 4th placed finish last time at Geelong over 460m (26.33). Comes through a solid form race last start. Worth another chance. ATLAS LEGEND (1) turned in a plain effort last time when fifth at this track over 450m behind Zipping Richie (25.88) in a Maiden. Was in the money prior to that. Comes through a solid form race last start. Deserves plenty of respect. CARNIVAL KID (4) has been ordinary in two runs to date. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Cannot be left out. ACHILLES LEGEND (8) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished 5th on April 15 over 450m at this track behind Zipping Richie beaten 7 lengths (25.88) in a Maiden. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.

Finished third last start (24.59) at big odds over 425m at Bendigo. Awkward draw to overcome. Has to do a bit more.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th over 460m at Geelong beaten 3 lengths (26.33) behind Kokeri in a Rank Limit - Grade 7 on March 5. Placed two back at Sandown. Should be right in the finish.
