Ballarat Race 7 - Durham Park Pace
MOUNT BARKER BOY (7) has been freshened since finishing fifth as favourite in a higher-graded race at Melton last month. Showed good ability in kicking off this campaign with three straight wins. Hails from a top yard and looks well placed in this line-up. MONSIEUR FLAMEL (2) continued his consistent form when fourth is this grade at Geelong last start. Recorded back-to-back placings prior and draws to be competitive again. SUPER CODE (1) worked to the lead before going on to score a 2.3m win at this circuit and distance last time. Up in grade but has the speed to be prominent from the inside draw. VILLAGE VOICE (5) has been quite consistent of late so has first four claims.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 5th (Fr1) over 2240m after showing early speed at Melton was leading by 3.66 at the bell, beaten 18 m by Clymenus (2:39.10) on June 13 at $1.90. The run prior 8th (Fr2) over 1720m after showing early pace at Melton was leading by 1.14 at the bell, beaten 11 m by Perun (2:01.00) on May 16 at $1.55. His best form would beat these.
