Ballarat Race 7 - Ballarat Function Centre (275+Rank)

SON OF WITCHY (7) latest effort finished 4th over 525m at The Meadows beaten 6 lengths (31.46) behind Back Talk in a Grade 5 H on October 28. Looks well placed here and rates a key player. Expected to be in the finish. TIGER ROCKS (8) has a moderate overall strike-rate. Better run when finding the frame last time though, finishing third (25.73) at this track. Form at the trip sound including four wins. Expected to be in the finish again. BUN QUAKE (4) has mixed form recently, finishing fourth (31.03) in a Grade 5 H at The Meadows latest but did run well two back when in the frame. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. LIGHTHEARTEDNESS (6) has a solid strike rate at this distance.
