Ballarat Race 2 - Happy Horse Produce

APTITUDE (2) looks close to another win after hitting the frame in a 2 length second (25.57) in a Restricted WIN at Warrnambool. Likely to feature again. TRAVIS INTENTION (1) got a clear run and led until the final stages when third and beaten one length (27.37) at Horsham in a Restricted WIN over 485m. Leading player again. RECANTED (7) found the frame for the second consecutive time when narrowly beaten into second last time out (25.64) over 450m at this track. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. MANILA JACK (3) took charge early and was never headed last time out. Will be thereabouts.

Hit the ground running last time with a strong early split and tried to lead throughout but had to settle for the minors when third (27.37) at Horsham over 485m. Looks a strong winning hope.

Did a good job two starts back at Bendigo to win by 0.8 lengths in 24.22, beating Claretown Hanna. Last start finished last over 410m at Horsham beaten 13 lengths (24.22) behind Tag Along in a Mix 6/7 on September 29. This looks too tough.
