Ballarat Race 5 - Gap (1-3 Wins)
INSTANT ACTION (7) turned in a fair 4th placed finish last time at Shepparton over 450m (26.08). Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from four attempts. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. ZARI BETTINA (3) latest effort finished 3rd on April 10 over 390m at Shepparton behind Aston Pluto beaten 5 lengths (22.80) in a T3 Grade 6. Can feature with the right run. ESPECIAL KIANI (4) missed the frame last time when fourth (25.95) at this track but prior to that had three placings in a row. Can measure up this time. SHOW BOAT JOHNNY (8) placed last start and is in the mix again.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 450m at Warrnambool. Draws the cherry but has the job ahead.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished sixth on April 10 over 450m at Shepparton behind Soda Swan, beaten 7 lengths (26.25) in a T3 RSTW. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.

Last start finished 3rd in a T3 Grade 6 on April 10 over 390m at Shepparton behind Aston Pluto beaten 5 lengths (22.80). Thereabouts of late and rates highly this line-up. Expected to be in the finish.

Had been racing in honest fashion, recording three placings in a row, before finishing fourth (25.95) at this track last start. Boxed awkwardly and needs to bounce back.

Showed brilliant pace early and gave a sight when a half a length third over 300m Healesville in 17.15. Solid chance with even luck.
