Ballarat Race 3 - Dr. Julianna Gallo Winter Series Nmw Pace (4th Heat)
MIKI SING (9) impressed when fresh from a spell last time out, racing parked before digging deep and getting home by 3 metres at Wagga. Draws on the back row this time but should strip fitter and won over this distance the only time he raced here. MAJOR BLITZ (8) made it three from three so far this campaign when overcoming another wide barrier to lead and score by 4.2m at Bendigo. Too good in his only visit to this circuit prior. Draws on the back row this time but winning form is tough to knock. KEAYANG PAYTON (3) should find this easier than the last attempt and did well to win at Melton prior. Draws for a good showing. THE STEEL DRAGON (7) draws wide but came from the back row to salute at Bendigo last week and owns a strong record here.

Well-beaten 12 days ago at Riverina Paceway over 2270m, and two back 4th (Fr4) over 2270m at Riverina Paceway was 3rd-4.4 at the bell, beaten 14 m by Brooklyn Dan (2:43.90) in 3yo CG on May 22 at $51. This looks a far sterner task.

Brings the right form to the table. Won by 4 m (Fr7) at Bendigo (1:56.90) beating Tooram Magic in on May 27 at $2.70 at the bell was leading 2.4. Two runs back won by 1.5 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr7) at this track (2:02.80) beating Montana Pride in on May 14 at $2.15 at the bell was leading 1.81. Hard to knock and could add to the winning streak.
