Ballarat Race 7 - Interpath Pace
BAKERS BANDIT (7) was having his first outing for close to seven weeks when less than 6 metres from the winner in second at Geelong last time. May need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position but should strip fitter so has winning claims. YANKEE MOJOH (8) worked to find the lead and kept kicking to make it two wins in succession last time at Mt Gambier. Should enjoy a nice smother from this draw and will be looking for a split at some stage. Could land the hat trick if things go her way. STARZINHEREYES (2) draws better than when he worked and faded last time and was racing well prior. AMERICAN VICTORY (6) returns after eight months but produced some good results at this circuit last time in, winning over this distance three back. Can open this campaign with a positive effort.

Last start 9th (Sr2) over 1680m at Terang, well beaten by Huxham Chubb (2:03.20) in NR up to 49 on February 13 at $17. Before that, 4th (Fr1) over 1609m at Charlton was 6th-9.7 at the bell, beaten 10 m by Monsieur Flamel (1:55.20) in NR 46 to 50 on February 2 at $16. Capable of more than he has shown recently. Should be at peak fitness now and can feature off the inside draw.

Solid performance when beaten by 2.75 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Torque Power at Terang over 2180m in a NR 50 to 55 on January 26 at $9.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Lord Verde at Geelong over 2100m in a NR 48 to 52 on March 13 at $4.40. Among the top chances.
