Ballarat Race 8 - Happy Horse Produce
ASTON TRANSCEND (1) jumps from box 1 again after placing (19.65) last time at Healesville over 350m. Deserves another chance. MOONLIGHT JAZZ (3) hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 2.25 lengths third over 450m at Warrnambool, clocking 25.89. Will give a great sight again. KID LUCK (2) last start finished last in a Grade 5 on March 11 over 425m at Bendigo behind Lainey Jane beaten 6 lengths (24.87). With even luck and a clean start can sneak into the finish. SAINT TAY (4) is likely to have admirers.

Didn't make the placings last time at Bendigo (24.87) in a Grade 5, finishing a 6 length fifth. Has three wins and six placings from 16 starts from the draw. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (25.89) at Warrnambool over 450m. Rates highly and looks tough to beat.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when second (25.86) over 450m at Warrnambool. Boxed awkwardly but is among the better hopes.

Good effort to win last start by 0.8 lengths over 435m at Sale in a handy (24.99), beating Turtle Time. Will find this a bit tougher, happy to risk in this.

Most recently finished last over 460m at Geelong beaten 11 lengths (26.77) behind Aston Hedland in a Grade 5 on February 17. Last run is a strong form reference. Worth following up.
