Ballarat Race 5 - Southern Sheetmetal
ONYX LASS (1) recorded a Maiden H win two back at Geelong then not far away from an awkward draw latest when fourth (26.28) at Geelong. Can make amends this time. KIWI EDDIE (7) turned in a fair 4th placed finish last time at Healesville over 350m (19.48). In the mix. GRAPEFRUIT RACER (8) showed good speed off a low draw but weakened and run over late when 5th over 525m at The Meadows in Restricted WIN H company. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Cannot be taken lightly. MISS SOOKY (6) has ability and can feature with the right run after missing a cheque here most recently.

Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fourth (26.28) at Geelong over 460m. Should be right in the finish.

Eye-catching performance to score by a head in a Bottom Up - Maiden last start at Geelong, clocking a fast 22.67 over the 400m trip. Harder here but worth including in multiples.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by one length in 22.29, beating Rupee Star. Last start finished 4th over 525m at The Meadows beaten 11 lengths (30.50) behind Whispered in a Mix 6/7 on December 10. Prepared to risk.

Last start finished 4th over 350m at Healesville beaten 2 lengths (19.48) behind Aston Summary in a Mix 6/7 on February 8. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.
