Ballarat Race 1 - Ballarattrottingclub.com.au Pace
SKYZ ABOVE (11) had to call on all reserves to score last time out over 2200m at this track, getting home by just 1.75 metres. May just need a bit of luck at some point from this difficult draw. Meets a comparable field and she can go right on with the job. KNOW THE SCORE (3) worked to find the lead and kept kicking only to find one better last time out over 1690m at Shepparton, adding to his minor placing the run before. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Leading hope based on those recent efforts. DANCEBYTHESEASIDE (1) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 2200m at this track last time out. VIVA STORM (7) resumes. Last appeared when a modest ninth over 2080m at Cranbourne 11 weeks ago.

Last start 6th (Sr4) over 2200m at this track, beaten 13 m by Skyz Above (2:43.40) on July 29 at $51. Before that, was driven from back in the field when 4th (Fr5) over 2180m at Stawell was 6th-9.5 at the bell, beaten 1.4 m by Presidentialchange (2:46.60) on July 20 at $11. Has a nice draw and is expected to figure prominently.

Last start 8th (Fr2) over 1690m at Shepparton beaten 30 m by Our Mystery Bet (2:03.10) on July 28 at $16. Before that, was driven from back in the field when 4th (Fr7) over 2080m at Cranbourne, at the bell was 6th-10.4 beaten 8 m by The Regulator (2:35.10) on July 19 at $13. Capable of more than he has shown recently. Can do much better from the same draw.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Iamawingate at Shepparton over 1690m on July 21 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Our Mystery Bet at Shepparton over 1690m on July 28 at $7. Sure to be there at the business end.

Comes here second-up after three weeks. Lacklustre first-up performance when was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr3) over 1200m at Melton, beaten 35 m by Bona Khan (1:24.60) on July 15 at $151. Needs to lift.
