Ballarat Race 6 - Ballarat Function Centre
BIG BOY COOPER (2) held his own to the line last start and filled a minor placing, beaten only 1.3 lengths (24.43) behind Nickleby Action at Bendigo. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Must come into calculations. BENGAL BEAST (8) latest effort finished last on June 21 over 350m at Healesville behind Flaming Fox beaten 4 lengths (19.73) in a Grade 4/5. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts BELFAST SPOT (6) cannot be underestimated.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 525m at The Meadows. Tempted to look elsewhere.

Has struggled to jump cleanly in recent outings and the results have been disappointing, the most recent effort a seventh over 460m at Warragul. Can't make much of a case this time.

Has finished fourth at his last couple of starts, most recently at Sandown over 515m. Has ability and worth including.
