Ballarat Race 7 - Grv Vicbred Series Ht2
LOCHINVAR THOR (2) was in the placings last time but shapes well for this on his dominant win the start prior, getting around Bendigo over 425m in 23.83. Expected to push the clock again here. READY ONE (3) turned in a modest effort most recently when fifth at Sandown over 515m behind Flying Ducati (29.75) in a Grade 5 FIN. Bold showing expected. WHISPERED (6) turned in a fair run last time from an unfavourable draw finishing fifth by 5 lengths (30.43). Has never missed the frame from three starts from this draw, including a win. Shapes as one to consider. DASH EXPRESS (1) is always hard to beat when drawn in this box.

Flew the lids with a quick early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (23.81) over 425m at Bendigo. Forward showing expected.

Was out of placings last time (30.43) at The Meadows in a Mix 3/4, finishing fifth and beaten 5 lengths. Super consistent from the draw with a win and two places from three starts. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.

Good effort to win last start by a nose over 500m at Bendigo in a handy (28.60), beating Argyle Whiskey. Will find this a bit tougher, cannot enthuse on this occasion.
