Ballarat Race 8 - Black Horse Naturals Trot

CHAMPAGNES (2) gave her opponents no chance last start when she cruised to a 13 metres victory over 1690m at Kilmore. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Taking on a better line-up this time but she good enough to play a major role. SHONEE (3) is racing very well with placings at her last three starts including a second most recently over 2180m at Terang, beaten 18 metres after travelling in a forward position. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a comparable field so she can add to the sound recent efforts. NO TELLING HEATHER (1) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at this track over 1710m. Genuine threat. DEEJAY DEX (7) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 1720m at Melton last time out.

Last start was well beaten into second behind Keayang Tweetybird at Terang over 2180m on July 12 at $10. Performed better the start before with a solid effort when 3rd (Fr1) over 1609m after showing early speed at Geelong, at the bell was leading 4.39 beaten 3 m by Thats Dudley (2:00.90) on July 3 at $4. Overdue and gets her chance from a nice draw.

Last start 9th (Sr1) over 2180m at Kilmore beaten 35 m by Buslin Brody (2:44.40) on August 13 at $26. Two runs back posted a big 9 m win as favourite when quickly away, (Fr6) at Maryborough (2:45.70) beating Whats The Tea in on August 3 at $2.50 at the bell was leading 7.3. This looks a far sterner task.

Rates highly and likely to be prominent again.
