Ballarat Race 7 - Frank Murphy Memorial
AWESOME AVENGER (3) missed the frame over 500m at Bendigo latest but ran a sharp 28.22 when beaten 4 lengths. Expected to go close if runs up to latest time. ZIPPING CARDI (8) should enjoy clear running from the outside box. Below best latest at this track (31.42) when 6th and beaten 7 lengths. Goes very well at course and distance boasting zero wins. Expected to give a good account. I'M HONEY (1) turned in a modest effort most recently when seventh at The Meadows over 600m behind Paw Erina (35.70) in a Grade 4/5. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. A big run wouldn't surprise. HE'S MAGIC (2) hit the frame latest (34.80) when third at The Meadows in a Grade 4/5. Has already won four times from this draw.

Was out of placings last time (28.22) at Bendigo in a Special conditions race, finishing sixth and beaten 4 lengths. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.

Good effort to win last start by 0.9 lengths over 525m at The Meadows in a handy (30.17), beating Paw Yanelle. Will find this a bit tougher, good win last start but looks tested in this difficult assignment.

Comes off a (30.67) win last time, scoring by a neck in a Mix 6/7 FIN over 525m at The Meadows. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Will need some luck to feature.
