Ballarat Race 6 - Interpath Pace
GOODTIME LIBBY (6) turned in a much better run when second up last time out, finishing third over 2100m at Charlton. Meets a comparable field so she can salute this time around. KISS ME MINI NZ (3) was out of the money two starts ago then things went amiss last start when she copped a check, broke, and finished a long last over 1720m at Melton. Has the benefit of a good draw this time and only needs an uninterrupted run to be in contention. AMERICAN MICHI (8) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 2190m at Shepparton. One for the exotics players. KEAYANG PAYTON (7) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 2240m at Melton four days ago. Should find this assignment easier.

Last start 7th (Fr3) over 2100m at Charlton, beaten 15 m by Captain Pins (2:33.60) on August 17 at $51. Two runs back won by a neck when quickly away, (Fr4) at Kilmore (2:03.20) beating Ninedolla Toastie in on August 6 at $3.80. Not keen on his chances in this line-up.

Didn't do much last time out, 6th (Sr1) over 1710m at this track beaten 55 m by Rockella (2:02.50) on August 19 at $151. Before that 8th (Sr3) over 1690m at Maryborough beaten 30 m by Montana Pride (2:02.40) on August 3 at $81. This looks a far sterner test.

Two back was beaten into sixth after being driven well back, behind Words at Melton over 2240m on August 7 at $61. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Captain Pins at Charlton over 2100m on August 17 at $9.50. Sure to play a major role.

Last start 7th (Sr1) over 2240m at Melton, beaten 14 m by The Last Trip (2:40.40) on August 22 at $26. Before that, was well back in the run when 5th (Fr7) over 2240m at Melton beaten 11 m by The Naked Art (2:40.60) on August 15 at $61. Certainly up to this and expected to do much better.

Last start was fifth behind Sriracha at Shepparton over 2190m on August 18 at $6. Performed better the start before when then went on to fill a minor placing over 1690m at Shepparton last time out. Winning prospects.
