Ballarat Race 2 - Sportsbet Ht1 (1-4 Wins)

LAID BACK LASS (5) has an excellent record over this course and distance having never missed the placings in four starts, including two wins and two placings. Placed last time (23.47) at Horsham in a Grade 5, finishing second and beaten 4 lengths. Looks the one to beat with even luck. SWEET LOVE (1) goes very well over this trip including four wins. Was out of placings last time (22.45) at Shepparton in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 12 lengths. Can feature in the finish. FERRET'S KNOCK (4) shapes well for this on her scintillating win a few runs back, getting around Warragul over 400m in 22.39 then hitting the frame in both runs since. Has the ability and looks a key chance. FIRST TRAIN OUT (7) is in fine form and looks a good top-three chance again. Something for the Multiples: SON OF DUKE (8)

Strong performance showing plenty of speed to score by a long neck in a Grade 6 last start at Warragul, recording a good 22.67 over the 400m journey. Harder here but warrants respect on latest.
