Ballarat Race 6 - Grv Distance Racing
AMRON TOY (4) was an impressive winner last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by 0.8 lengths (43.12) at The Meadows. Rates to win again. MIDNIGHT PHANTOM (6) was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split and ran away with a 0.9 lengths win at Shepparton over 650m in 37.25. Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Can go close again if runs up to latest figure. PAW FORTRESS (1) failed to feature last start after settling well back at Shepparton, but prior to that won by half a length at The Meadows (34.74) beating Champlain in a Grade 5 on April 4. Shapes as one to consider. JONI BLACK (2) can measure up with the right run.

Out of the placings last time but the run prior he was an impressive winner after racing just off the speed, scoring by half a length in a Grade 5 at The Meadows. Should be in this for a long way.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 450m at this track. Hard to have this time.
