Ballarat Race 3 - Sportsbet Ht1
MAXIMUM SUNNY (1) has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a 8 length third over 410m Horsham in 23.55. Deserves serious consideration. SKY WOLF (7) comes into this as a quickest on the card winner last time at Shepparton, scoring by 3 lengths (21.88). Harder here but expected to feature again. ZIPPING BOCELLI (5) clocked a brilliant 21.98 winning over 390m at this track last start. Smart winner latest and looks a key chance on that form. LEGACY MAN (2) is another with top-three prospects.

Good effort last time when third (23.79) over 410m at Horsham. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Prefer others.
