Ballarat Race 7 - Southern Sheetmetal
THREE VOTES NICK (1) chased the lead early from the inside and boxed on well to finish third, beaten 1.5 lengths (23.28) at Geelong in a Rank Limit - Grade 5 over 400m. Deserves serious consideration. PLUTONIC (6) was well fancied in betting last start but could only manage 7 lengths away in third (22.95). Some good form is emerging from her last run. Well placed and gets her chance. MR. BLUEY LEE (8) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (26.02) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Has a strong winning record here. Expected to feature in the finish. REV KEN (2) has top-three aspirations after placing last time.

Well supported here last start but couldn't repay punters, finishing finished 4th in a Grade 5 on August 15 over 450m at this track behind Tricky Disco beaten 4 lengths (26.02). Placed two back at Warrnambool. Has been racing well. Well placed here and looks a leading contender.
