Ballarat Race 8 - Rsn Grey Areas - Wednesday & Friday

IDYLLIC JAMES (1) could manage only second at Warrnambool last time but impressed when clocking a superb 25.11 over 450m at Warrnambool the start prior. Can measure up on top win two back. EXTRADITED (8) flew the lids with a fast early split and led until late but gathered in when a 1.5 lengths second at Geelong over 460m in 25.82. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Can feature again. RUAPUKE ROCKS (2) is better than last start when fourth (19.34) in a Grade 5 FIN at Healesville over 350m. Solid winning record at this trip. Has a strong record out of this box with two wins and a minor placing from four starts. Has the ability to give this a shake. GOT A PULSE (3) must be respected at his pet distance.

Showed strong early pace and stuck on well despite finishing out of the placings when fourth over 350m Healesville in 19.34. Has a very good strike-rate out of box 2, scoring two times. Go close.
