Ballarat Race 7 - Sportsbet (1-4 Wins) Ht1
LOST MY SMILE (2) is progressing well with another good run, placing by one length (24.51) in a Grade 5 at Bendigo. Top prospect. HOLMES (3) jumps from box 3 again after placing (26.25) last time at Geelong over 460m. Must include in calculations. PAW STELLA (4) turned in a good run last time, finishing in the placings (25.73) at Geelong in a Grade 5. Lines up from box 4 for the first time. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Will give a great sight again. DEEP THINKER (8) can find the frame without surprising.

Strongly fancied last time and hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but could manage only third (24.51) at Bendigo over 425m. Going well and can bounce back to winning form.

Hit the frame latest (30.38) when second at The Meadows in a Mix 6/7 H. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Horsham over 410m in 23.48. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when sixth over 410m at Horsham at Grade 5 level. Not suited by wide draw, tempted to look elsewhere.

At the last start finished last on May 8 over 500m at Bendigo behind Bernardo's Queen beaten 4 lengths (28.45) in a Restricted WIN H. Can bounce back. One of the main chances.
