Ballarat Race 5 - Flying Horse Entertainment Venue Pace (2Nd Heat)
MORRIS BROWN (5) is on a quick back up from Charlton on Sunday where he was far from disgraced in finishing midfield from a tough barrier. Produced a series of decent efforts prior including a second from a similar draw at this venue last month. Could strike here. HAPPENSTBABEACHBOY (6) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when fourth from the back row at Melton. Drew one spot wider than this when runner-up in his prior appearance at Hamilton. Major player. MUSELET (4) is up in grade but must be respected after scoring last start by 2 metres at Charlton. TUKURUA (3) has been coming from wider or second line draws but has still managed some good results including a win at Melton. Player from a good draw.
