Ballarat Race 8 - Grv Distance Racing
POWER SQUEEZE (1) missed the frame over 720m at Wentworth Park latest but ran a solid 41.97 when beaten 9 lengths. Hard to top on the time from last start. SOCIALISM (5) has recorded back to back wins, last time scoring at The Meadows over 600m by 0.6 lengths (34.87). Deserves serious consideration again. MIDNIGHT PHANTOM (7) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (42.35) at Sandown behind Slick Nitro in a Grade 5. Has the pace to be prominent. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Must be included in calculations. MORAINE DYLAN (8) will be hard to beat despite making his debut at this circuit.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last three starts. Last time out finished 3rd over 500m at Bendigo beaten 5.5 lengths (27.93) behind Prison Break in a Grade 4/5 on October 23. Has never missed the frame in three starts from the draw. Solid prospects.
