Ballarat Race 3 - Manhari Gotta Take Care Hrdl (Bm114)

SPLIT (1) is a talented jumper who has been in stellar form of late. Followed a win over the obstacles two back at Coleraine with further success at Sandown-Lakeside last time, getting home by 6 lengths. Racing in great heart and is the testing material again despite the whopping 76kg. ZOOM (4) could be the value runner. Missed the placings two back in a flat event at Warrnambool then appreciated the return to jumps racing when second at Casterton when he really charged late after not getting clear as early as the jockey would have liked. THURMOND (3) defeated ZOOM last start and always looked like he had the race in his keeping, but meets him 2kg worse here. EMBEZZLER (2) was gapped in the Grand National last start, but this is much easier, and he's a genuine hope if he repeats the Coleraine run the start prior. LODBROK (5) ran third behind THURMOND and ZOOM last week and while beaten six lengths will again keep whacking away late.

Recent form hard to fault. Last start ran on from midfield; finished third in a small field at Sandown-Lakeside Gn Hdle on August 2 over 4200m, on heavy track; 14 len behind Andy Win carrying 64kg at $10. The start before that; won by 5 len Coleraine Mdn Hdle-Sw on July 19 over 3300m on rain affected going defeating Highness with 69.5kg at $4 in a hurdle. Shapes nicely on latest run in a better race than this and among the hopes again here.

Useful gelding. Last outing raced on the pace then finished third of 9 starters at Casterton Mdn Hdle-Sw on August 9 over 3500m, on slow going 6 len behind Thurmond with 69.5kg at $6. Before that finished third of 7 starters at Warrnambool Bm70 on July 23 over 3172m, on heavy track; 13 len behind Reddivo with 60.5kg at $7.50. Fought on last time. Racing consistently and should be around the mark again.
