Ballarat Race 7 - Palmerbet Vicbred Voucher Concession Drivers Pace

FOREGONE CONCLUSION NZ (4) brought some very good form to the table before the latest appearance when he got the job done again, scoring by a head over 1720m at Melton. Taking on a better line-up this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. MAXBECA (7) produced a better effort last time out when runner-up over 2240m at Melton, beaten 1.75 metres. Must overcome a very wide draw. Meets some better types this time but a win is not out of the question. MONSIEUR FLAMEL (6) is right in the mix after finishing runner-up for the second time in a row last start, beaten 8 metres at Shepparton. Ideally placed to go one better. THEROUX (1) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when second at Melton over 2240m.
