Ballarat Race 3 - Grv Distance Racing (0-4 Wins)

FAST REPLY (5) turned spotting a big start finishing sixth (35.09) last time in a R/A FIN at The Meadows. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from five attempts. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. MEPUNGA VELVET (7) has a strong winning strike-rate over this journey with two wins and a placing from four tries. Hit the frame latest (42.44) when third at Sandown in a Grade 4/5. Can hit the frame with the right run. ARCHER SWEET (2) doesn't win out of turn but looks close to breaking through. Finished second (31.49) at this track last time making it three minors on end. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Well-placed to take this out. FLYING SARA (1) is new to this circuit but not to be underestimated.

Had been racing in honest fashion, recording three placings in a row, before finishing fifth (35.24) at Sandown last start. Nicely drawn on the inside but needs to bounce back.

Racing well without winning, filling the minors at his last three starts, the latest when second (31.49) at this track. Drawn close to the inside. Has ability and should run well.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fifth last time out over 595m at Sandown. Others better.

Was out of placings last time (35.09) at The Meadows in a R/A FIN, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 6 length third over 715m at Sandown, clocking 42.44. Has a very good strike-rate out of box 7, scoring two times. Go close.

Is back up to 660m which has been an issue in the past. Last appeared when fourth over 545m at this track nine days ago. Looks up against it this time.
