Ballarat Race 3 - Interpath Pace
HAPPENSTBABEACHBOY (9) comes off a good effort over a sprint trip at Melton where he came from a wide barrier to be beaten 2.2m into third. Draws on the back line but is up to winning a race like this if things go his way. WICHITA KANSAS (6) draws wider than in the last-start fourth at Melton but has been going well including a string of placings earlier in the campaign. LIKE A GAZELLE (8) hasn't raced since a maiden win at Ballarat in February. Draws on the back row but could go through her grades this time in. LIVERMERE (4) has produced some decent efforts since winning from a wider barrier at Horsham last month, last week beaten less than 3m at Melton.

Nine-year-old mare showed improvement last start. Posted a big 3.5 m win after showing early speed, (Fr2) at Terang (2:05.70) beating Quick Decision in on July 12 at $7.50 at the bell was leading 2.8. The race before was not as impressive when well beaten into fifth behind Quick Crunch at this track over 2200m in a M on June 25 at $34. This looks a sterner task.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 2.25 m fourth behind Cool Story at Melton over 2240m last start. Before that was beaten 5 metres sixth at this track over 2200m same class on July 9. One of the top chances.

First up. At the last run she ran on from midfield and won by 7 m (Sr3) at this track (2:43.40) beating Missmalachite in M on February 5 at $4.40 at the bell was 4th-4.3m 2WWC. Finds a nice race to launch the campaign.

Two back was well beaten into seventh after being driven well back, behind Janiebquick at Melton over 1720m on July 10 at $51. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Bona Khan at Melton over 1200m on July 15 at $2.60. Strong claims.
