Ballarat Race 7 - Happy Horse Produce
GO PIKACHU (7) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at this track behind Sit And Steer (25.68) in a Grade 5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Deserves serious consideration. PAW OLYSLAGERS (8) trailed the lead and fought on well to be beaten 1.5 lengths into second (25.75) at Warrnambool in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 over 450m. Expected to be in the finish again. PAW LAMPADES (4) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at Horsham over 485m behind Miner Mick (27.86) in a Grade 4/5. Was in the money the start prior. Likely to be thereabouts. VALLETTA MOON (1) is right in the mix.

Comes off a (24.20) win last time, scoring by a neck in a Grade 5 over 425m at Bendigo. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Among the chances on best.

Did a good job two starts back at Bendigo to win by a neck in 24.08, beating Rock Eternal. Last start finished last over 425m at Bendigo beaten 12 lengths (24.82) behind Paw Vada in a Grade 5 on June 26. Prepared to risk on this occasion.

Good effort to win last start by 1.5 lengths over 390m at this track in a handy (22.50), beating Tricky Disco. Will find this a bit tougher, tested under these conditions.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when second (26.13) at big odds over 460m at Geelong. Tricky draw to overcome but can measure up.

Finished seventh last start at Bendigo but prior to that had been racing consistently. Has a wide draw to navigate and will need the right run to feature.
