Ballarat Race 4 - Prd Real Estate Pace
IFYOULOVEMELETMEGO (4) has returned in good order, finishing only 2.4m from the winner first-up before scoring by 2.6m last week at Geelong. Draws a few spots wider but should be fitter again so could go on with it. LAZENBY (1) has done a good job to come from the back row and finish second in his last two outings, the latest behind IFYOULOVEMELETMEGO. The ace draw gives him the chance to turn the tables. TEST OF FIRE (7) was a beaten favourite last start and while he draws wider he will appreciate the class drop. MISS DOOBEE (8) continues a run of second line draws but scored from there three back at Shepparton, the only time she has attempted this distance.

Failed to impress last start; 11th (Sr1) over 1680m at Terang was 4th-5.1 at the bell, beaten 13 m by Quick Decision (2:04.00) on May 18 at $9.50. Showed ability the race before when he won by 6 m when quickly away, (Fr5) at Terang (2:01.80) beating Livermere in on May 5 at $5. Capable of more than he has shown recently. Could bounce back.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 7th (Fr1) over 2100m after showing early speed at Geelong was leading by 3.11 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Muselet (2:35.10) on May 22 at $2.60. The run prior 9th (Fr1) over 1720m after showing early pace at Young well beaten by Astral Stride (2:03.70) on April 10 at $17. Worth another chance. Drops in grade so watch for a spike in form.

Last start 5th (Sr6) over 2180m at Terang, beaten 25 m by Le Cardinal (2:41.90) on May 18 at $101. Two runs back was well beaten after breaking at Mt Gambier on May 12. This looks out of his reach.
