Ballarat Race 9 - A1 Signage (1-3 Wins)
ULTIMO (7) missed the frame last time but had been racing well prior to that, winning a T3 RSTW three back before a placing at Warrnambool the following run. Can make amends this time. EDINBURGH BALE (2) comes off an average run last start when sixth at Sale over 435m behind Somerton Mick (25.62) in a Mix 6/7. Likely to be thereabouts. BLOW TORCH (5) stuck on well last time to finish 1.5 lengths back in third (22.92) at Warragul in a Grade 5 over 400m. Leading chance. TALK BACKS BACK (4) was out of placings last time (28.61) at Bendigo in a Grade 5, finishing sixth and beaten 3.5 lengths. Has two wins already from this draw.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage seventh last time out over 400m at Geelong. Prefer to watch at this stage.

Back from a 12 weeks spell and last resumed over 500m at Bendigo where he was in the placings, finishing second. Capable of taking this out.

Finished third last time (22.92) over 400m at Warragul. Awkward draw to overcome. One of the better hopes.

Returns from a five months break and only other fresh up run was on debut when placed over 340m at Hobart. Better off looking to others.
