Ballarat Race 6 - Southern Sheetmetal
MEMORIES (2) hit the ground running from out wide last start and crossed down to lead throughout (25.76) at Shepparton in a Grade 5 over 450m. Can make it two on the bounce. DANCE LADY DANCE (1) showed strong early pace from the wide draw and stuck on well despite missing the frame, finishing fourth over 450m this track in 25.90. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Leading chance. ALACRITY DAVE (4) boxed on well to finish third last time, beaten 1.4 lengths (25.82) behind Mandolin Storm at this track. The form from his last run stacks up well. Expected to be in the finish again. RAVEN XANDER (8) can return to form after missing the top-three at this circuit last time out.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 2.5 lengths fourth (25.90) over 450m at this track. Has been around the mark at her last couple and should make her presence felt.

Recorded his 7th career win last time out (25.76) at Shepparton and drawn box 2 for the first time here. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 390m at this track. Likely to find this too tough.

In the money last time at this track (25.82) in a Grade 5, finishing a 1.4 lengths third. Goes very well from the draw boasting three places from five starts. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (23.45) over 400m at Warragul. Jumps from a wide draw. Has to do a bit more.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when second (25.73) at big odds over 450m at this track. Is worth plenty of thought.
