Ballarat Race 8 - Sportsbet Supporters Of Having A Crack

OVERLAND BOY (7) was strongly fancied but finished third last time (25.61) at Shepparton, bringing a four-run winning streak to an end. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Can find winning form. REAPER (2) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (34.63) from Box 8 at The Meadows. Boasts a strong record from this draw with four wins and four minor placings from 10 starts. Expected to feature. SO HE THINKS (6) could manage only third at Horsham last time but impressed when clocking a handy 29.98 over 525m at The Meadows three starts ago. Has the ability and looks a key chance. REUBEN HILL (8) can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Disappointed last time but just missed the placings two back over 600m at The Meadows. Others read better.

Hit the frame latest (34.63) when second at The Meadows in a Grade 5. Strong record off the draw with four wins and four minors from 10 starts. Makes strong appeal.

Well supported last time and rocketed out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but had to settle for the minor money, finishing a 4.5 lengths third (25.61) over 450m at Shepparton. Has a strong record from box 7, including two wins. Go close.
