Ballarat Race 9 - Cooke & Foley Accountants Trot

RAMA SAIGO (5) was once again right in the mix last time out when runner-up over 2100m at Geelong, beaten 4 metres. Tackles a similar assignment and he can go one better without surprising. PIPALICIOUS (1) took full advantage of the inside draw when a dominant winner over 1690m at Maryborough last time out. No excuses from another advantageous draw and rates a primary contender in a similar assignment. SAMBEZIA (4) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 16 metres at Melton over 1720m. Can go back-to-back. CARTACALHA (6) has been about the mark of late and must be respected, the latest offering a sound fourth at Melton over 1720m. Can trouble the judge with any luck in running.

Last start was well back in the run when 6th (Fr4) over 2100m at Geelong, beaten 45 m by Lord Logan (2:39.00) on August 14 at $23. At his previous start 7th (Fr4) over 2240m at Melton, beaten 45 m by Joe Lou (2:50.30) on August 7 at $11. Capable of more than he has shown recently. Certainly worth another chance.

Last start 4th (Fr3) over 1609m after showing early speed at Geelong was 5th-8.67 at the bell, beaten 8 m by Keayang Minnesota (2:00.60) on August 14 at $10. At the start before solid effort when 3rd (Fr2) over 2240m at Melton, beaten 10 m by Joe Lou (2:50.30) on August 7 at $15. Look for improvement on last start. Should be there at the business end.
