Ballarat Race 7 - Durham Park Trot

JOE LOU (6) scored two runs back then recorded a comfortable win last time out, scoring by 7 metres over 2240m at Melton. That latest effort is good enough to put up a third win on the bounce here and he goes on top by a space. WHATS THE TEA (7) registered another strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 2080m at Cranbourne, adding to an impressive run of top-three results. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position but meets a comparable field and he shapes as the danger. SNICKERS EXPRESS (5) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at Hamilton over 2660m while I AM SKYE CHIOLA (8) must be considered after she finished runner-up over 2200m at this track two weeks ago.

Didn't do much last start, 5th (Fr1) over 2190m at Maryborough, beaten 50 m by Rastamon (2:45.70) on August 3 at $81. Before that 9th (Sr1) over 2190m at Maryborough beaten 35 m by Aldebaran Jazmine (2:46.00) on June 29 at $151. Others make more appeal.
