Ballarat Race 13 - Ballarat Race 13

MCKERCHER (6) has been hard to follow lately, running fourth (22.99) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at Geelong. Key player on best and expected to bounce back. COMPARE JOE (2) spotted a start but wound up strongly late and finished third and beaten 3.5 lengths (24.96) at Sale in Grade 5. Has a strong record from this draw. Has a solid record from this box including three wins and a minor placing. Expecting another good run. PAW UMA (4) recorded a Grade 5 win two back then missed the frame last time at Warragul, but drawn Box 4 this time where she has two wins. Expecting sharp improvement this line-up. MARCO MARCO (1) did a good job to finish third last time out over 390m at this track (22.47) in a Grade 5, the second top-three finish on the trot.
