Ballarat Race 4 - Download The Watchdog App
YELLOW OCHRE (1) was a last-start winner from box one at this track and distance (22.57) after leading through, scoring by 2.5 lengths. Has the inside again and looks the one to beat. CLIFFORD (2) was below best at his last start when 6th at Healesville following a third place finish (17.20) there two back. Bold showing expected. LIVING THE DREAM (7) has been mixing form lately, hitting the frame two back before finishing fourth (22.63) at Warrnambool in a Grade 6. Well placed here and can atone this time. PRINCE OF FIRE (3) should bounce back after an unplaced effort here recently.

Didn't make the placings last time at Horsham (23.89) in a Mix 6/7, finishing a 4.5 lengths fourth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Looks a place chance at best.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when second (22.70) over 390m at Warrnambool. Boxed out wide but in the mix on his best form.
