Ballarat Race 4 - Beraldo Coffee Pace

WICHITA KANSAS (8) recorded yet another strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to miss out narrowly at Bendigo, making it three minor placings on the trot. May need luck at some stage extracting from the inside of the second row but a win looks imminent. TOPHUT JOHNY (7) added to his consistent form when fourth last start at Bendigo, coming from the back row to be beaten only 1.6 metres. Draws wide but if things go his way he could break through. FREAK OUT (5) is hard to knock having added to a string of wins and placings with a respectable third at his most recent appearance at Kilmore. SKYZ ABOVE (1) is in the mix after turning in a good effort last start to come from this barrier for a 1.7m third at this venue.

Last start was well back in the run when 6th (Fr4) over 1650m after racing wide at Bendigo was 6th-8.34 at the bell, beaten 4.5 m by Hurricane Hooly (2:00.70) on July 1 at $12. At the start before 4th (Fr5) over 2080m at Cranbourne was 2nd-2.8 at the bell, beaten 8 m by Precious Belle (2:35.40) on June 28 at $16. Has winning claims if things go his way from the back row.
