Ballarat Race 5 - Southern Sheetmetal
BILLY BEAST (8) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (23.09) at Geelong behind Ultimate Beast in a Mix 6/7. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Makes plenty of appeal. MICKEY MOUSE (7) started big odds in tougher last time when finishing 7th over 400m at Geelong. Won an easier race the start before that at Warrnambool. Warrants plenty of respect. MAGIC FLUX (6) doesn't have the best strike-rate. Finished second (22.78) at Geelong latest and might be close to finding winning form again. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings three times from five starts. Must be included in calculations. MAGIC TIGERESS (2) is worth consideration.

Last start finished eighth over 390m at this track, beaten 13 lengths (23.35) behind Ace Is Fire in a Grade 6 on July 9. Needs to find a bit more to test these.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow fourth (22.80) over 390m at this track. Can't enthuse on this occasion.

Was out of placings last time (24.83) at Horsham in a Mix 6/7, finishing eighth and beaten 19 lengths. Yet to score but has placed each of two runs from this draw. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Warrnambool over 390m. Last start finished last in a Mix 6/7 on July 12 over 400m at Geelong behind Ultimate Beast beaten 8 lengths (23.26). Speedy conveyance who looks hard to beat.

Showed good improvement when third behind Ultimate Beast at Geelong last start over 400m (23.09). Gets back so might need a bit of luck.
