Ballarat Race 8 - Ballarat Tier 3 Cup Prelude 3

LES NORTON (8) is a last start placegetter off the inside draw (26.27) at Geelong, finishing second and beaten 3 lengths. Missed the placings only try here. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. One of the contenders. BUN QUAKE (6) turned in a plain performance last time when fifth at Bendigo over 500m behind Greysynd Bonnie (28.86) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5. Was in the money the start prior. Should be in this for a long way. NICKY'S SECRET (3) turned spotting a big start finishing sixth (26.24) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Has a good record at this journey. Worth another chance. AXEL'S RADAR (7) is right in the mix.
