Ballarat Race 3 - Del Re National Foods Pace
OUT TO STAY (1) has had four runs this prep and is yet to finish in the top three but he might just have found his spot here running from the pegs. Sound last time over 1660m at Hamilton, finishing 4.5 metres away from the winner in fourth. Meets a similar line up and he can take this out. BINALONG MATE (5) scored by 1.75 metres at Melton over 2240m last start at his first run back from a spell. Won't find this any harder and he can go right on with the job. Think that pair hold the aces. MIKIS PLEASURE (2) is in the mix following a sixth at her most recent appearance over 2240m at Melton. TOPSIES BLING (7) is worth some thought after her last-start sixth when resuming over 1660m at Hamilton on August 10. Something for the Multiples: CARRAMAR TITMUS (6)

Last start was well back in the run when 4th (Fr6) over 1660m at Hamilton, beaten 4.5 m by Devereux (1:58.80) in 3yo on August 10 at $2.20. Before that, 6th (Fr1) over 2200m at Horsham, at the bell was 3rd-5.3 beaten 11 m by Savon De Roche (2:43.40) on July 27 at $7. Strips fitter and from the pegs gets his chance to impress.

Recent form below what she is capable of. Last start 6th (Fr4) over 2240m at Melton, beaten 70 m by Lambro Mach (2:44.70) on August 7 at $51. The run previous 9th (Fr1) over 2190m at Shepparton beaten 60 m by King Saint (2:40.00) on July 28 at $11. Should be at peak fitness and can turn things around.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr3) over 1660m at Hamilton beaten 10 m by Keayang Viper (2:01.20) on August 10 at $15. Showed ability the race before when he tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a nose as favourite when quickly away, (Fr1) held up early, at Stawell (2:09.80) beating Magellan in on July 20 at $3.10 at the bell was 3rd-4.7. Expected to do better this time.

Didn't do much last time out, was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr6) over 1720m at Melton beaten 17 m by Seaside Boy (2:01.50) on August 8 at $101. Before that 4th (Fr3) over 1710m at this track, at the bell was 7th-10.97 beaten 8 m by Telemachus (2:01.50) on July 23 at $10. Must improve sharply.

Three-year-old gelding who is showing promise. Good first up, won by 1.75 m as favourite (Sr1) at Melton (2:44.90) beating Maxbeca in on August 12 at $3.20. Expected to go on with the fresh win and threaten again.

Didn't do much last start, 8th (Sr3) over 1690m at Maryborough, beaten 30 m by Montana Pride (2:02.40) on August 3 at $81. Before that broke in score up and was out of position at the start 5th (Fr2) over 1750m at Swan Hill beaten 70 m by Tough Aint Enough (2:03.60) on July 24 at $71. This will be too tough.
