Ballarat Race 8 - Ballarat Tier 3 Cup Prelude 8

METEOROLOGY (2) goes very well at the course with three wins and a placing from six starts. Below best last time at Bendigo (24.56) in a Grade 5, finishing a 7 length fifth. Rates a leading player. MONEY PALACE (1) jumped from an outside draw and finished in the frame when a 7 length third (30.71) at The Meadows in Grade 5. Yet to fire here from two runs. Will give a great sight again. ATHENS AURA (8) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by 1.2 lengths at The Meadows in a handy 30.73 beating Let's Cause Kaos. Leading player again. SOCIALISM (7) was a huge winner last start. Right in the mix.

Won two starts back when well in the market at The Meadows over 525m. Last start finished 3rd over 525m at The Meadows beaten 7 lengths (30.71) behind Socialism in a Grade 5 on July 29. Close to the speed and boxed on well at the latest run. Key chance again.
