Ballarat Race 1 - Ballarattrottingclub.com.au Pace
BETTORSWEETVICTORY (9) finished fifth last start, running well at Shepparton over 2190m. Won't spend a penny from this draw but luck may play a role on the bell lap. This doesn't look as hard so she is sure to prove tough to beat. MIDNIGHT MOJO (7) finished fourth last start, beaten 13 metres at Melton over 1720m. Expected to run well. WAR ZONE (6) disappointed last time when ninth over 1720m at Melton. Can atone. PRETTY POOR (4) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 2240m at Melton. MAGIC MIKE NZ (5) strips fitter again.

Backs up three days after he failed to impress 6th (Fr3) over 1609m after showing early pace at Cranbourne, at the bell was 3rd-6.4 beaten 11 m by Cyclone Jenni (1:55.40) on August 16 at $23. Before that 4th (Sr1) over 2080m at Cranbourne was 4th-10.2 at the bell, beaten 4.5 m by Illawong Phoenix (2:34.90) on August 2 at $18. This looks a far sterner test.
