Ballarat Race 10 - Del Re National Food Group Pace
HOUSE PARTY (6) enjoys a class drop off the Vicbred Super Series and will be race fit third up off a long spell. Won the only time she attempted this distance and finds a much more winnable assignment. KING BALDWIN (4) scored on debut at Cranbourne before tackling a Vicbred heat at his latest appearance at Melton. Better placed and has upside. RYTA (3) led from this barrier and stuck on for a respectable third when resuming at Stawell. Won his lone second-up attempt so should be improved and also scored the only time he attempted this circuit and distance. EXOTIC CHESTER (2) is first up for 12 weeks but was readied with a trial win and didn't miss the top-four in his maiden campaign, highlighted by a win here. Draws for a good return.

Second-up here following a spell. Good run when 3rd (Fr3) over 2180m after showing early speed at Stawell, at the bell was leading 0.4 beaten 2.25 m by Frankie Under Fire (2:44.30) on September 14 at $8. Fitter and draws well so is one of the better chances.

Recent efforts haven't been up to her best. Last start 10th (Fr5) over 2240m after being wide early at Melton, beaten 40 m by The Art Of Success (2:38.60) in 4yo G2 on September 19 at $34. The start before 6th (Sr3) over 2180m at Kilmore was 7th-16.53 at the bell, beaten 15 m by The Art Of Success (2:39.50) in 4yo on September 10 at $5. Capable mare who is much better placed.
