Ballarat Race 7 - Hewitt & Whitty 3yo Pace
TOMBEUR (6) cops his widest draw yet but has been very good despite working in his two starts to date, winning on debut at Cranbourne before a 4.4m fourth at Melton. Showing promise and can win if things go his way. SPRINGFIELD RIVER (3) didn't perform to market expectations when resuming but did have to work. Strikes at 50 per cent at this distance and has won when second-up before so look for improvement. MISTER AMERICANO (5) draws wider but comes back in grade on his resuming fifth at Cranbourne. His best results have come at this shorter distance so he looks an improver. ARZALI ROCKSTAR (4) has been producing some good efforts including a win from wider two back at Geelong and she races well at this circuit and distance with a win and a placing from two attempts.

Didn't do much at the last run, 7th (Sr3) over 1720m after racing wide at Melton beaten 21 m by Bettor Doo (2:05.40) on October 21 at $6. Before that 6th (Fr6) over 2200m after showing early speed at this track beaten 25 m by Theroux (2:41.10) on October 15 at $19. This looks far too tough.

Didn't impress first-up beaten 21 m seventh behind Feel The Reign at Swan Hill over 1750m in a on October 15. Draws well and is a winning prospect with that run under the belt.

Last start 4th (Fr2) over 2240m at Melton was 2nd-3.24 at the bell, beaten 4.5 m by Tricode (2:45.90) on October 21 at $2.70.

Last start was well back in the run when 10th (Fr6) over 1720m after showing early speed and racing wide at Melton beaten 30 m by Secret Service Agent (2:03.80) on October 23 at $71. At the start before 8th (Sr1) over 2240m at Melton beaten 35 m by Sandelton (2:44.30) in 3yo on October 9 at $51. May do better.
