Ballarat Race 11 - Sportsbet Green Tick

MAN OF COURAGE (2) used the inside draw to advantage last time and hit the ground running with a fast early split, but could manage only the minor money when a 1.3 lengths second at Warrnambool over 390m in 22.48. Must come into calculations. DIMORA BIG BOY (3) is rarely far away but tends to find one better, placing 15 from 30 starts. Has been in the minors the last two runs, the latest finishing third (23.68) at Horsham. Has never been out of the placings from two starts out of this box. Overdue and expected to feature again. TRISSA BALE (1) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing eighth (26.75) in a Grade 4/5 at Geelong. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings four times from five starts. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. ROCK ETERNAL (6) looks an each-way chance.

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 5 length third (23.68) over 410m at Horsham. Key chance on best form.

Did a good job two starts back at Bendigo to win by one length in 24.05, beating Zambada Icon. Last start finished 8th on August 13 over 390m at Warrnambool behind Cinematic beaten 9 lengths (22.92) in a Restricted WIN H. Can't recommend against this lot.
