Ballarat Race 9 - Interpath Vicbred Voucher Mares Trot
NO TELLING HEATHER (7) produced a better effort when second up last time out, finishing third over 2200m at this track. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Meets a comparable field so she is capable of taking this out. GOLDEN SKIES (5) ran fifth last start at Maryborough over 2190m, beaten 11 metres. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. SPIRITED LASS (9) did a good job to finish in the minor placings two runs back then things went sour last time when she broke and finished a long way back in eighth over 2080m at Cranbourne. Should enjoy a nice smother from this draw and will be looking for a split at some stage. Won't find this any harder and she can bounce back. FREMARKS PEGGY (4) must be respected after scoring last start by 3.5 metres at Maryborough over 2190m.

Last start 2nd (Fr1) over 1690m after showing early pace at Maryborough, at the bell was 3rd-4.4 beaten 1.75 m by Dona Amalia (2:06.60) in NR up to 49 on February 11 at $41. Two runs back 5th (Fr2) over 1690m after showing early speed at Maryborough, at the bell was 5th-8.4 beaten 4.5 m by Magic Law (2:06.80) in NR up to 39 on February 4 at $4.80. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Centurion Dream at this track over 2200m in a NR up to 55 M on January 29 at $26. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Kyvalley Judge at this track over 2200m in a 0-2 WINS on February 5 at $31. One of the primary contenders.

Last start was well beaten into eighth behind Rarity Rock at Cranbourne over 2080m in a NR up to 59 on February 8 at $3.90. Raced better the start before that with a game effort when 2nd (Sr5) over 2240m at Melton, at the bell was 9th-12.54 beaten 4 m by Quirky Character (2:46.20) in NR 56 to 64 on January 30 at $41.
