Ballarat Race 8 - Grv Distance Racing
IF ONLY (1) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing fifth (35.41) in a Grade 5 at The Meadows. Should bounce back. WESTERLY BALE (2) turned in a plain effort last time when seventh at The Meadows over 730m behind PAW LOUIS (43.75) in a Grade 5. Has ability and can atone. DOUBLE DENIM (3) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (43.42) last time in a Grade 5 at The Meadows. Has never been out of the money in six starts this distance. Likely to be about the money. PAYBACK (4) is likely to have admirers.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when third (38.03) over 660m at Bendigo. Awkwardly drawn but can measure up.

Didn't finish two back and couldn't make the frame last time when he finished last over 350m at Healesville beaten 11 lengths (19.74) behind Dr. Yannick in a Grade 4/5 on March 16. Can't enthuse on this occasion.

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 2.5 lengths third (43.30) over 730m at The Meadows and making it two placings on end. Rates highly on best form. Must include.

Scored by 1.2 lengths last time (43.12) in a Grade 5 over 730m at The Meadows. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and two places from eight starts. Others appear better placed.
