Ballarat Race 6 - Grv Distance Racing
SLICK NITRO (2) hit the ground running and set it up early clocking 37.22 with a 2.25 lengths win at Shepparton over 650m. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minor placings. Has hit winning form and can measure up again. MIDNIGHT PHANTOM (7) is rarely far away but tends to find one better, placing 11 from 23 starts. Finished in the minors last time when second (34.70) at Sandown making it back to back placings. Solid record at the distance winning two races. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Overdue and is among the main hopes. FAST REPLY (5) has been mixing form lately, hitting the frame two back before finishing fourth (43.63) at The Meadows in a Grade 4/5. Can turn it around this time. ELECTRIFY (4) is a last-start placegetter who will have admirers.

Hit the frame latest (25.47) when third at Grafton in a Grade 5. Yet to win but has placed three times from this draw. Will need some luck to feature.

Impressive performance tracking the speed and going on to score by 2.25 lengths in a Grade 5 last start at Shepparton, recording an enormous 37.22 over the 650m journey. Can measure up again if runs up to that effort.

Won two starts back at Sandown over 715m in 41.57. Followed that up with a minor placing over 715m at Sandown at S/E Group 1 a month ago. More than capable and ready to find best form.

Could manage only fourth last time but caught the eye the start prior when he clocked a slick 37.53 over 650m finishing third at Shepparton. Worth including on run two back.

Has placed the last couple. Ran 34.70 when second at Sandown latest but the run prior he recorded a slick 37.90 over 660m finishing third at Bendigo. Can measure up if runs up to recent best times.

Surprised two starts back at The Meadows to win by 2.5 lengths in 34.63, beating Hey Presto. Last start finished last over 730m at The Meadows beaten 7 lengths (43.63) behind Mepunga Breeze in a Grade 5 on June 13. Hard to entertain this time.
