Ballarat Race 1 - 14 Races Tonight
TRUE NORTH (1) rocketed out of the inside draw with a strong early sectional and gave a sight but had to settle for a placing, finishing second (25.49) at this track over 450m. Comes through a solid form race last start. Capable of going well again. NEVER BEEN HERE (5) is an Andrew Paraskevas-trained newcomer by Aussie Infrared out of Quena Dee Air. No favours with the draw and will need to begin well. Market moves likely to signal ability but profiles strongly for this. EXACTITUDE (6) has his first outing without a trial but profiles nicely for this. Among the main hopes. SHADOW BOXER (8) placed on debut and is in the mix again.

Strongly fancied last time and hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but could manage only second (25.49) at this track over 450m. Solid formlines coming through that last run. Looks a major player.

Yet to break through in five starts, the latest result a fourth (17.20) over 300m at Healesville. Best form too good to ignore.

Moderately away on debut last start and was never in contention when eighth at this track over 450m in 26.82. Others favoured this time.

First starter by Bernardo from Avenger Lass. Trained by Joe Borg. Watch for any market moves.
