Ballarat Race 4 - Southern Sheetmetal
EXTORTION (4) was below best at his last couple, the latest finishing fourth at Healesville, but was among the placings at this track three back. This looks easier and expected to bounce back. SIA MARIA (8) was a Maiden winner (24.15) two back then given a spell after falling last time at Bendigo. Can do much better this time. MORAINE CASMA (5) jumped well from a low draw and lead for much way to score when second (22.50) at this track in a T3 RSTW over 390m. Will give a great sight again. CUCUZZA (2) placed last start and is in the mix again.

Didn't make the placings last time at Sale (24.69) in a Mix 6/7, finishing a 6 length fourth. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.

Last start finished second on May 11 over 390m at this track behind Madam Serious, beaten 9 lengths (22.61) in a T3 RSTW. Solid chance with even luck.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 4 length fourth (19.48) over 350m at Healesville. Has been around the mark at his last couple and should make his presence felt.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 22.50 over 390m at this track. Solid showing expected.

Last start finished seventh over 400m at Geelong, beaten 10 lengths (23.49) behind Matilda Flame in a Mix 6/7 on May 15. Others make more appeal.

Took a tumble when crowded up close to the inside last time over 425m at Bendigo and returns from a five months spell. Rates strongly on best and well worth another try.
