Ballarat Race 6 - Ballarat Tier 3 Cup Prelude 6
OKAY ALF (1) did a good job to finish second last time out over 545m at this track (31.75) in a T3 RSTW, the second top-three finish on the trot. Can turn form around here. BLAME WALLY (6) had the drop on the lead early on but could only manage second, beaten 8 lengths (31.70) at this track in a T3 RSTW over 545m. Expected to feature again. PAW CASSIAN (7) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (23.38) last time in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 at Geelong. Should be thereabouts. LADY NATASHA (4) was in the money last start and poses a threat again.

Stepping out over 545m for the first time. Out of the placings in recent runs, most recently when fifth over 400m at Geelong. Hasn't done enough of late to inspire confidence.
