Ballarat Race 8 - A1 Signage
REIKO BLING (2) was well off top last time, finishing 4th (31.17) in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Has won here at this journey. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. LEKTRA SKIP (1) had been in super honest form hitting the frame two times on end before finishing fourth (35.04) at The Meadows last time. Likely to be thereabouts. MEPUNGA LILLY (7) was below best latest but did hit the frame in quick time two back when third (28.46) at Bendigo in a Grade 4/5. Expected to bounce back to best. FOXY BARBELLA (3) will be hard to beat with a drop in trip.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 4th over 600m at The Meadows beaten 6 lengths (35.04) behind Steal The Stage in a R/A FIN on October 3. Had been in strong form, hitting the frame two times on end, before the latest effort. Can atone.

Missed the frame last start when fifth and beaten 9 lengths at Bendigo. Form solid prior to that including a win at Horsham three back. Rates well on best and expect a better run this time.
