Ballarat Race 7 - Pink Diamond Rookie Sprinter Ht1

HURRICANE (1) was below best last time but prior to that was narrowly beaten when sixth (29.69) in a Special conditions H at Sandown. This looks easier and expected to bounce back. RETALIATION (8) finished fifth last time at Sandown but could not have been more impressive a few runs back in his superb 25.03 win at this track over 450m. Must include on winning run three back. INDY MELMEN (2) is a handy type who notched his 4th career success when too good (30.98) from Box 2 at this track. One of the leading chances again. WIZARD WATSON (7) racing over this distance brings the best out in him.

Missed the frame last start when sixth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning six on end before placing two back. Looks a definite winning chance on best and given another chance.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 545m in 30.98 last start, beating Aston Reeves. Among the chances and worth following up.
