Ballarat Race 3 - Onthestraight.com.au
YELLOW SAPPHIRE (2) rocketed out of the boxes with a scorching early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (22.89) at Warragul over 400m. Key chance in this line up. SILENT BANDIT (5) has missed the frame at last two runs but could not have been more impressive the run prior in his speedy 19.86 win at Goulburn over 350m. Smart winner three back and looks a key chance on that form. ARC FLASH (1) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fourth (23.20) in a Rank Limit - Restricted Win at Geelong. Form at the trip sound including two wins. Form from his last run is proving strong. Leading chance. FRANKIE'S ROCKET (4) is right in the mix.

Flew the lids with a sensational early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (22.89) over 400m at Warragul. Going well and can bounce back to winning form.
