Ballarat Race 8 - Happy Horse Produce
AWESOME BANDIT (3) looks close to another win after finishing second last time (25.33) at this track. Solid record at the distance winning two races. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Likely to feature again. TRAVIS INTENTION (8) lit up the clock in 25.11 when winning a Grade 4/5 over 450m at Shepparton last start. Smart winner latest and looks a key chance on that form. BLACKPOOL WINTER (4) missed the frame last time at Geelong but the start prior rocketed around 450m at this track in 25.23. Top win two back and can measure up again.

Was edged out last time at this track when beaten just a long neck but did clock a good 25.33 over the 450m journey. Looms as the one to beat this time.

Was out of placings last time (26.16) at Geelong in a Grade 5, finishing sixth and beaten 7 lengths. Has a win and three places from four starts from this draw. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 2.5 lengths fourth (22.17) over 390m at this track. Had found the frame two times on end before the latest effort. Can atone.

Solid performance to win by 4.5 lengths at Shepparton over 450m (25.11) beating Max Effort in Grade 4/5 on October 26. Can make it two on the bounce.
