Ballarat Race 1 - Ballarattrottingclub.com.au TROT
KAMARAN (6) continues to race well having worked before finishing third at Terang last time out. Draws wider but had won four of his previous five and has won two of three attempts at this circuit and distance. Top chance. Manners are proving a problem for COLTRANE (11) who galloped for the third time in a row last start but he had kicked off his campaign with back-to-back wins so the ability is there if he gets it right. DELS DESTINY NZ (9) draws on the back row but is racing well, placing in two of three starts since a Kilmore win. PIESRIDINGSHOTGUN (8) may need some luck from the back row but was brave last week, leading and sticking on well to miss narrowly as runner-up at Kilmore.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 3rd (Fr4) over 2100m after showing early speed at Geelong, beaten 8 m by Night Flight (2:43.40) in NR 46 to 51 on May 8 at $19. Two runs back was well back in the run when 9th (Fr7) over 2200m at this track beaten 35 m by Kamaran (2:44.90) in NR 49 to 53 on April 30 at $126. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Good performance when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Paris Jamilla at Kilmore over 2180m in a NR up to 50 M on April 16 at $19. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second behind Kamaran at this track over 2200m in a NR 49 to 53 on April 30 at $26. Can make her presence felt.

Two runs back won by 8 m as favourite (20m Fr2) at Ararat (2:56.60) beating My Mother Said in No NR on April 27 at $2.90 at the bell was leading 0.7. Capable of playing a role.

Last start was well beaten into third behind Centurion Dream at Terang over 2180m in a NR 46 to 51 on May 5 at $2.60. Raced better the start before that where he came from midfield and posted a big 11 m win as favourite (Sr1) at this track (2:44.90) beating Ahundredplus in NR 49 to 53 on April 30 at $2.25 at the bell was 2nd-1.87. Fine stats at this course and distance and can go close.

Two back was well beaten into sixth after being driven well back, behind Prohibited Grace at Melton over 1720m in a NR 56 to 62 on May 1 at $9.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Bullapark Beno at Kilmore over 1690m in a NR 50 to 55 on May 7 at $9. Contender.

Has been let down by manners lately. Last start failed to finish when he ran at Geelong on May 8 over 2100m. The run before 11th (Fr1) over 2100m at Geelong, well beaten by Prohibited Grace (2:43.90) in NR 52 to 56 on April 17 at $4.20. Good enough if he gets it right.
