Ballarat Race 4 - Del Re National 3Yo & Older Maiden Pace
WHISKEYDRINKINGBILL (9) is racing well with 10 top-five finishes in succession, the latest effort a third at Geelong over 1609m. Won't spend a penny from this draw, but luck may play a role on the bell lap. Meets a comparable field so he is capable of continuing his fine form. SEGUI LE STELLA (7) drew a wide gate last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 23 metres into tenth at Geelong over 1609m. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. Meets a similar lineup and she can make amends. PIPKEN (10) is stepping out for the first time. By Betting Line and hails from the Tim McGuigan stable. Draws out a little on the second line and may need luck at some point. Was not far away in a recent trial. Capable of taking this out. AMERICAN VICTORY (11) cannot be left out after registering a sequence of three top-three finishes, the latest at this track two weeks ago.

Backing up quickly since being well beaten Kilmore over 1690m, 7 days ago before that 8th (Fr4) over 1609m at Geelong beaten 17 m by Send In Elvis (1:58.40) in MAIDEN on May 16 at $26. Hard to have.

Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Solid performance when beaten by 1.4 m finishing fourth behind Iamawingate at Shepparton over 1690m in a NR up to 45 on April 29 at $3.90. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second behind The Devils Flame at this track over 2200m in a MAIDEN on May 8 at $6.50. Will make his presence felt.
