Ballarat Race 8 - Ballarat Greys Bingo Every Sunday

BLOCK A BABE (6) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by 4.5 lengths at Horsham in a handy 23.49 beating Taden Bale. Can go close again if runs up to latest figure. SIR VALENTINO (7) latest effort finished 6th on December 20 over 425m at Bendigo behind Kurraca Kid beaten 5 lengths (24.39) in a Grade 5. Looks one of the chances. TOP SPEED GEAR (8) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by a neck at Shepparton in a handy 25.58 beating Mcivor Jewels. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Shapes as a top winning chance on latest effort. NORBIT (1) profiles nicely here at this trip.

Didn't make the placings last time at Geelong (22.78) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 2.25 lengths fourth. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and three places from six starts. Will need some luck to feature.

Showed strong early pace and proved too slick around Horsham over 410m in 23.49, claiming a Grade 5 by 4.5 lengths. Hard to go past again.
