Ballarat Race 8 - Southern Sheetmetal

MEPUNGA FLYER (8) has a strong record this journey with five wins and a minor from seven starts. In the money last time at Healesville (19.31) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a one length second. Looks suited and should go close. IT'S BUBBLE TIME (1) was prominent early from the tricky draw and stalked the lead but levelled up to score (23.17) at Horsham in Mix 3/4 over 410m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Expected to measure up again. SLICK IVAN (2) was in the money last start and wasn't beaten far - poses a threat again.

Good effort to score just four days ago over 410m at Horsham by one length in a Mix 3/4. Looks the one to beat again.

Did a good job two starts back at Geelong to win by 2.5 lengths in 22.72, beating Leap Fang Leap. Last start finished 5th on April 23 over 450m at Warrnambool behind Magic Bocca beaten 8 lengths (25.78) in a Restricted WIN H. Looks tested in this company.
