Ballarat Race 4 - Southern Sheetmetal

LIVING THE DREAM (8) doesn't have the best strike-rate but recent form is sound. Continues to race well, filling the minors at the last four starts, the latest when third (22.53) at Shepparton. Comes through a solid form race last start. One of the contenders. LARA MOON (1) wasn't far away at the finish when 4th and beaten only 3.5 lengths (22.50) at Warrnambool. Has performed well from this box with a win and three minor placings to her name from four starts. Has ability and can atone. TALTARNI LANE (2) ran below best last time finishing sixth (24.63) over 425m at Bendigo from Box 4. Comes through a solid form race last start. Likely to be thereabouts. MAJOR WAIT (6) can fill a top-three spot.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow fourth (22.50) over 390m at Warrnambool. Has never missed the frame from four starts out of this draw. Major player.

Was out of placings last time (22.84) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Looks suited here and can measure up on best.

Racing well without winning, recording four minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when third (22.53) over 390m at Shepparton. Capable of improvement on latest effort. Well placed and should feature.

Didn't finish two back and couldn't make the frame last time when he finished last in a Grade 5 on July 16 over 390m at Warrnambool behind Moonlight Grand beaten 12 lengths (23.28). Better than the last couple of runs suggest. Expected to do much better.
