Ballarat Race 8 - Alfredton Laundry Trot

IM HAVINTOTROT (7) resumes from a spell of four months after closing off last campaign in good form, scoring at his last appearance over 1650m at Bendigo. Must overcome a very wide draw but is sure to prove hard to beat on his return. ZARSKI (4) was a head away in second at Kilmore over 2180m last start at his first run back from a spell. That latest effort is good enough to take out a race like this. SCAR (5) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when he finished third at Melton over 2240m. Top-three commodity. EL TORNADO (1) is worth some thought after his last-start fourth over 2200m at this track on July 23. May earn some minor money.

Fair performance when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Hallebesofine at Geelong over 2100m on August 14 at $6.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third behind Kyvalley Michael at Melton over 2240m on August 21 at $4.80. Among the chances.

Resuming after four months off the scene. Finished off last preparation recording a win by 3 m (Fr7) at Bendigo (1:59.00) beating Prettyboy Harry in on April 29 at $5 at the bell was 4th-4.6m 2WWC. Previous preparation first-up came from midfield and won by 1.75 m (Fr4) at Bathurst (2:11.40) beating Gladiatrix in 3yo on March 20 at $3.70. Big chance while fresh.

Failed to impress last start; was well beaten after breaking at Melton on August 15. Showed ability the run before when he won by 6 m (40m) at Hamilton (3:28.70) beating Snickers Express in on August 10 at $5. It will pay to forgive the latest effort.
