Ballarat Race 8 - Ballarat Tier 3 Cup Prelude 13

BIT OF POTASH (8) was safely held last time out, finishing seventh at Geelong over 460m behind Dad's Surprise (26.65) in a Rank Limit - Grade 5. Looks the one to beat on his best form. ROCKY SUPERSTAR (2) turned in a plain effort last time when sixth at Geelong over 460m behind Impetuously (26.33) in a Restricted WIN. Expected to run well. MIKADO MANIA (6) ran below best last time finishing fifth (35.34) over 595m at Sandown from Box 8. Can measure up this time. TWISTED FANTASY (7) is right in the mix.
