Ballarat Race 8 - Sportsbet Every Dog Has Its Day

TADEN BALE (8) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fifth (31.79) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Form at the trip sound including six wins. Can bounce back. TAMMY MCIVOR (1) stalked the lead from a middle draw and boxed on well to finish a long neck back in second (28.19) at Bendigo in a Grade 4/5 over 500m. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Overdue and is among the main hopes. URANO BALE (2) was unfancied latest when jumping from this same draw but belied the odds to place (28.58) over 500m at Bendigo in a Grade 5. Should be in this for a long way. RHYTHMIC ENERGY (7) form at this distance reads well.

Showed strong pace early but found one better when a long neck second over 500m Bendigo in 28.19. Has run blistering time here with a 30.93 PB at the distance. Hard to beat.

Hit the frame latest (28.58) when second at Bendigo in a Grade 5. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and seven minors. Key chance and should go close.

Good effort to win last start by a neck over 600m at The Meadows in a handy (34.83), beating Duplicitous. Will find this a bit tougher, solid win last time out but this looks tough.
