Ballarat Race 5 - Happy Horse Produce
HOLMES (6) is worth forgiving last start after finishing fourth (25.58) in a R/A FIN at this track over 450m. Comes out of a hot form race last start. Has ability and is a key runner. STARBRIGHT HUD (1) turned in a moderate performance last time when fifth at Healesville over 300m behind Mighty Miss (17.17) in a Special conditions race. The form out of his last race has been franked. Key player if finds best. KIWI FRED (7) finds it hard to win. Finished second (25.91) at Geelong latest and might be close to finding winning form again. Form at the trip sound including two wins. Expected to feature again. MADAM SERIOUS (2) cannot be underestimated.

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 4 length second (25.91) over 460m at Geelong. In the money last time and looks well placed to go one better.
