Ballarat Race 8 - Sportsbet Supporters Of Having A Crack
AMRON TOY (8) was a last start winner (34.40) from Box 1 at The Meadows. Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. Can continue the winning form. NIGEL DEVERE (7) could manage only sixth at Sandown last time but caught the eye when clocking a sharp 34.26 over 595m at Sandown the start prior. Must include on winning run two back. STARBORN (1) was strongly supported last start when a short priced favourite and duly saluted winning by 2.25 lengths at this track in a handy 31.10. Has the coveted inside box and has a good record over this journey. Boasts two wins from two starts out of this box. Likely to be in the finish. ASTON REEVES (2) can measure up with the right run.

Eye-catching performance showing plenty of speed to score by 2.25 lengths in a Restricted WIN last start at this track, recording a slick 31.10 over the 545m journey. Rates a top chance again if runs up to latest.

Missed the frame last start when fifth and beaten 4.5 lengths at Geelong. Form solid prior to that including a win at Sandown three back. Looks a strong place chance on best figures.

Could only manage seventh last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when second (30.44) over 525m at The Meadows. Tough draw to overcome and needs to find best form to feature.
