Ballarat Race 5 - Ballarat Tier 3 Cup Prelude 5
RAVEN'S CALL (2) has been hard to follow lately, running fourth (30.02) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at Geelong. Better than latest and can atone here. BROKEN HALO (1) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing sixth (35.29) last time in a Restricted WIN at Sandown. Better than last start and can bounce back. DEL AMITRI (7) had been in super honest form hitting the frame two times on end before finishing fourth (34.96) at Sandown last time. A big run wouldn't surprise. MEPUNGA VELVET (6) will be hard to beat despite making her debut at this circuit.

Turned in a good run last time, placing (24.02) at Horsham in a Mix 6/7. Lines up from box 3 for the first time. Tough line-up and places prospects appear best.

Could only manage fourth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when third (31.55) over 545m at this track. Has a wide draw to navigate and looks a each way chance only this field.

Last start finished fifth over 500m at Bendigo, beaten 4.5 lengths (28.75) behind King Of Chaos in a Bottom Up - Restricted Win on July 22. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.
