Ballarat Race 14 - Ballarat Race 14 Veterans

GAS LANTERN (7) charged out of the inside draw with a fast early sectional but swamped late when a close up fourth (22.52) at this track over 390m. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. I'M HONEY (4) was quickly into stride and raced on speed before drawing clear to a land a one length win (22.63) at Geelong in Grade 4/5. Yet to fire here from six runs. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Expected to measure up again. MR. KIA ORA (5) hit the ground running to win over the 410m at Horsham two runs back then raced on speed again when finishing second at Traralgon last start. Expected to feature. RHYTHMIC ENERGY (2) has claims fresh from a recent placing from this draw.

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 3.5 lengths second (22.53) over 400m at Geelong. Has claims if at his best.

Impressive performance racing just off the speed and going on to score by one length in a Grade 4/5 last start at Geelong, clocking a solid 22.63 over the 400m trip. Rates a top chance again if runs up to latest.
