Ballarat Race 8 - Pink Diamond Champion Sprinterht1
CRACKERJACK RALF (3) was in winning form two back (25.45) at Warrnambool but ran below best last time at Sandown, finishing 8th. Solid record here at the distance winning two races. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. BAROOGA JIM (7) has a strong record this trip with eight wins and seven placings from 21 starts. Missed the frame latest (26.12) when seventh over 460m at Geelong in a Grade 4/5. Looks one of the chances. GIACOMO (1) has a strong record this trip with eight wins and four placings from 21 starts. Was out of placings last time (30.04) at Sandown in a Free For All, finishing fourth and beaten 8 lengths. Can feature with the right run. ULTIMATE WARRIOR (4) is always hard to beat when he races at this trip.

Missed the frame latest (30.04) when fourth over 515m at Sandown in a Free For All. Strong record off the draw with six wins and two minors from nine starts. Looks suited and should go close.

Did a good job two starts back at Geelong to win by 1.5 lengths in 29.89, beating Uncle Stiltskin. Last start finished 4th on May 29 over 520m at Geelong behind Uncle Stiltskin beaten 2.75 lengths (30.14) in a Grade 5 FIN. Happy enough to avoid.
