Ballarat Race 4 - A1 Signage (1 Win)
HARTLAND BUDDY (4) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing eighth (26.60) last time in a T3 RSTW at Shepparton. Looks the one to beat on his best form. MAJOR LOSE (3) was in the minors two back (22.58) at Warrnambool but ran below best last time at Healesville, finishing 8th. Should be about the money. CAVED IN (7) turned in a plain run last time when sixth at Shepparton over 390m behind Radiate (23.32) in a T3 Grade 7. Should be thereabouts. THREE VOTES NICK (6) should be thereabouts.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 350m at Healesville. Better off looking to others.
