Ballarat Race 4 - Radio Ballarat Trot
SILENT REVERIE (7) was successful at her most recent outing by 6 metres in a nice return to form at this track over 2200m. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a wide starting position but finds a suitable assignment and will be a major force once more. IM EDDIE (3) produced a strong effort last start when he led and battled on well but just missed out at this track over 2200m. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Leading hope based on that recent effort. BLACKRANGE GLORY (8) is better than his last-start ninth over 2200m at Horsham. CONSTANT (1) must be considered after she finished runner-up when resuming over 2200m at this track three weeks ago.

Having her second run back from a spell. Solid effort when 2nd (20m) over 2200m at this track beaten 3.5 m by Acool Investment (2:49.50) on July 29 at $21. Should improve so expected to run well again.

Fair run when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Champagnes at this track over 1710m in a M on July 29 at $26. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Poppy Popstar at Maryborough over 2190m in a M on August 3 at $7. Consistent and comes into the calculations.

Last start raced just off the speed and boxed on; posted a big 6 m win after showing early speed, (Fr5) at this track (2:46.50) beating I Am Skye Chiola in on August 5 at $4.80 at the bell was 3rd-5.81. Looks hard to beat again.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 9th (10m) over 2200m at Horsham well beaten by Fremarks Peggy (2:50.50) on June 22 at $3.20. The start before 6th (Sr4) over 1690m at Maryborough, at the bell was 2nd-1m 2WNC beaten 17 m by Artigas (2:03.50) on May 31 at $7.50. Out of play at the start latest and can do better this time.
