Ballarat Race 8 - Southern Sheetmetal

LIGHTHEARTEDNESS (7) struggled for best form latest, finishing 6th (28.74) in a Grade 5 at Bendigo. Has won here at this journey. Got the money at his only try from this box. Should bounce back. REMI JOY (3) jumped from the inside and boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten one length (26.46) behind Raven Xander at Geelong. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Can measure up. INVICTUS BLUE (1) has mixed form a little and missed the frame the last two but was a Grade 5 winner three back (26.22) at Warragul over 460m. Rates a winning chance on best. KUNAMA NAMADGI (8) can measure up with the right run.
