Ballarat Race 6 - Grv Vicbred Distance Series (0-4 W) Ht2
LADY NESS (3) had a tricky draw last time and although midfield in fifth wasn't far away finishing 2.5 lengths from the winner (38.16). Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. FAST REPLY (2) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by 1.3 lengths at Shepparton in a handy 38.00 beating Cruzado. Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Expecting another bold showing. WHAT POWER (1) found trouble and failed to finish over 515m at Sandown last time when strongly fancied. No luck latest and gets chance to atone. REFINEMENT (6) will be hard to beat despite making his debut at this trip.

Had a low draw last time over 515m at Sandown but was in traffic and failed to finish. Returns here after a three-and-a-half months spell. Must include in calculations.

Strong performance to win by 1.3 lengths at Shepparton over 650m (38.00) beating Cruzado in Restricted WIN on July 27. Looks the one to beat again.

Was out of placings last time (38.16) at Shepparton in a Restricted WIN, finishing fifth and beaten 2.5 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and two places from six starts. Looks a leading chance.

Has finished fourth at his last couple of starts, most recently at Sandown over 515m. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Steps up to 660m for the first time. Last appeared when second over 545m at this track four days ago. Fair run last start but needs to improve further.

Was out of placings last time (34.92) at The Meadows in a Restricted WIN H, finishing fifth and beaten 4.5 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Looks a place chance at best.
