Ballarat Race 7 - Ballarat Tier 3 Challenger Final

MEPUNGA VELVET (1) is yet to miss the placings here in an excellent record which boasts two wins. Comes off a (38.79) win last time, scoring by 1.75 lengths in a R/A FIN over 660m at this track. With a clean break looks hard to beat. BUN QUAKE (4) turned in another strong performance after leading them home to make it two on the bounce, scoring by 5.5 lengths (30.11) at Sandown over 515m. Can measure up again. AXEL'S RADAR (2) doesn't win out of turn but recent form sound. Filled a minor placings again last time when second (33.78) at Traralgon making it three placings in a row. Has a good record at this journey. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Expected to feature again. SERRATED EDGE (8) is worth including.
