Ballarat Race 3 - A1 Signage (2-3 Wins)
RELAX MATE (7) could not have been more impressive a few runs back in his head turning 21.88 win at Shepparton over 390m then has finished in the placings in both runs since. Hard to top on best recent times. BLACKPOOL IRIS (2) hit the frame last time at Geelong but the start prior rocketed around 400m at Geelong in 22.65. Must include on winning run two back. LOCHINVAR THOR (4) improved his time on first attempt here at the trip with a 0.8 lengths third in 22.48 latest. Will be in this for a long way. CHEVRON STROLL (8) must be included on latest effort.

Backs up after finishing last on February 24 over 400m at Warragul in a Grade 5. This looks too tough.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Geelong over 400m. Last start finished 2nd over 400m at Geelong beaten 1.3 lengths (22.60) behind Rothwell Bonnie in a Rank Limit - Grade 6 on February 24. Going well and can bounce back to winning form.

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 3.5 lengths third (25.48) over 450m at this track and making it two placings on end. Fought on last time. Right in the mix again.
