Ballarat Race 2 - Asahi Beverages 3yo Mdn Trot
NO REPENTANCE (5) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 9 metres from the winner in second over 1710m at this track. Leading hope based on recent form. FREMARKS ELITE (7) ran fourth last start at this circuit over 1710m, beaten 13 metres. Expect him to be prominent. RAPTA (1) resumes. Last appeared when a modest eighth over 2190m at Maryborough four-and-a-half months ago. Include from the coveted pegs draw. PARDRAY (2) disappointed last time when tenth over 2240m at Melton. This easier and can turn things around.

Resuming after a spell of four-and-a-half months. Ran only once last preparation running when eighth after a quick start, behind Zoolu at Maryborough over 2190m in a 3-10yo on April 20 at $11. Sure to play a major role while fresh.
