Ballarat (G) Race 8 - Great Chase (1-5 Wins) Ht8
CRACKERJACK GUS (1) has a strong winning strike-rate this journey having won two of three starts. Missed the frame latest (23.35) when seventh over 400m at Geelong in a Restricted WIN H. Looks the one to beat with even luck. MAXIMUM PENALTY (7) was the fastest winner on the program last time out, running away to score by 5 lengths (25.75) at Geelong. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. STIDHAM NEBRASKA (2) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing eighth (30.46) in a Mix 6/7 at Sandown. Form from her last run is proving strong. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. KIWI HANK (3) cannot be overlooked following a recent narrow defeat.

Has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a 0.8 lengths second over 525m The Meadows in 30.19. Better than the last couple of runs suggest. Expected to feature.

Modest effort last time out when fifth over 390m at Shepparton. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.

Missed the frame last time when seventh (30.09) at Sandown. Prior to that had been racing well. Boxed out wide and will need a little luck to feature.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Geelong over 460m in 25.75 last start, beating Fast Knockdown. Has hit winning form and can measure up again.

Was out of the placings last time at Sandown but prior to that had been racing consistently, notching five minors in a row. Has to overcome a wide draw and prefer each-way.
