Ballarat Race 6 - 7+ Pace
YANKEE RAIN (6) produced another strong performance last time when she came from the back row for a 1.3m second at Geelong. Recorded back-to-back wins prior, one from this barrier. Strong winning hope. THEROUX (1) was solid enough when fifth from wider last start at Kilmore. He should enjoy the inside barrier having come from there for a win at this circuit and distance two back. BONA KHAN (3) has been coming from the second line of late and didn't do a bad job when midfield at Geelong last time out. Better served by this draw. PRECIOUS BELLE NZ (5) is racing consistently with a string of top-four results to her name and she has won at this circuit and distance before.

Failed to impress last start; was well back in the run when 5th (Fr3) over 1690m at Kilmore was 5th-10.58 at the bell, beaten 11 m by Rock Poster (2:04.60) on October 22 at $3. Showed ability the race before when he won by 1.5 m (Fr1) at this track (2:41.10) beating Fireside in on October 15 at $7 at the bell was 4th-10.92. Should get every chance from this draw.
