Ballarat Race 10 - Pink Diamond Challenger Short Course Ht1
OCEAN GOLD (4) was a strong winner (22.24) from box 3 last time, scoring by 4 lengths at Warrnambool. Will need some luck early after drawing a tricky box here. Strong form has emerged from her last run. Has hit winning form and can go on with it. NOTORIOUS MILO (3) is a handy dog who jumped from box 6 last time out and scored by 1.75 lengths at Warrnambool (25.79). Can measure up again. HALF MAC (1) started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish sixth (19.83) at Healesville over 350m. Comes through a solid form race last start. Has the ability to give this a shake. RAVEN XANDER (2) is a last-start placegetter worth considering.

Showed strong early pace and stuck on well despite finishing out of the placings when sixth over 350m Healesville in 19.83. Tipped to improve sharply. Rates highly on best form.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Warrnambool over 450m in 25.79 last start, beating Loud Mouth Louie. Was strongly supported and ran right away with it last time. Follow up.

Eye-catching performance showing plenty of speed to post a big 4 lengths victory in a Bottom Up - Grade 6 last start at Warrnambool, clocking a slick 22.24 over the 390m trip. Has the ability and expected to go close again.
