Ballarat Race 2 - Sportsbet Every Dog Has Its Day

POPPY RICK (8) produced a modest effort most recently when fifth at Horsham over 410m behind Leonessa (24.26) in a Grade 6. Comes through a solid form race last start. Has claims if he runs up to expectations. BOROUGH BOUND (5) flew the lids off the inside with a slick early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow fourth (22.52) over 390m at Shepparton. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Expected to give a good account. MAKE US DREAM (2) was below best last time when eighth but prior to that was a Grade 7 winner in quick time at Warrnambool. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. CRAIG KEEPING (1) is in the mix after leading and holding on for a placing last start.

Flew the lids with a fast early split and led until late but gathered in when a 2 length third at Bendigo over 425m in 24.64. Should be around the mark.
