Ballarat Race 1 - Ballarattrottingclub.com.au Mdn Trot
THE TROUT COD (1) finished fifth last start, beaten 15 metres at this track over 1710m. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw and is good enough to be right in the finish. DELIGHTFUL REYNA (7) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 7 metres from the winner in fourth over 2190m at Shepparton. Has to contend with a very wide draw but rates a primary contender based on those recent efforts. GREAT HORIZON (3) was responsible for a better effort last time out when runner-up over 2100m at Charlton. Should run a big race. BROTHER THOMAS (4) is a likely improver after debuting with a solid third last time out over 2100m at Charlton. Will have come on with that run now under the belt.

Last start was well back in the run when 5th (Fr5) over 1710m at this track, at the bell was 4th-12.32 beaten 15 m by The Paso Doble (2:09.10) in 3yo on August 19 at $3.40. Before that, a good run when 3rd (Fr2) over 1690m at Shepparton, beaten 6 m by Queen Truscott (2:10.40) on August 11 at $2.60. Better than the last run so worth another chance.

Fair performance when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Kyvalley Joker at Maryborough over 1690m on August 3 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Dance Dance Dance at Charlton over 2100m on August 17 at $17. Looks very hard to beat.
