Ballarat Race 7 - Ballarat Function Centre
REUBEN HILL (1) comes off an average effort last start when eighth at The Meadows over 525m behind Paw Matic (30.70) in a Free For All. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. LOCHINVAR COSMO (2) ran below best last time finishing sixth (26.15) over 450m at Warrnambool in a Grade 5. One of the better hopes. TRICKY DISCO (6) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, most recently finishing 2nd at this track over 450m. Deserves a win and gets his chance. PAW CALLIE (8) must be respected despite an unplaced effort here most recently.
