Sale Race 9 - Maffra Poly And Pumps
FAYE VALENTINE (8) was in the money last time at Warragul (22.57) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 0.8 lengths second. Has already won two times from this draw. Looks suited here and rates on top. BALLISTIC BLAZE (2) started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fourth (24.83) at this track over 435m. Cannot be left out. RAPID HEART (4) broke a three run winning streak last start when second and beaten 5.5 lengths (30.05) last time at Sandown. Has a good record here including three wins. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Leading player again. IN ACTION (7) form at this distance reads well.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Warragul over 400m in 22.68. Followed that up with a minor placing over 515m at Sandown at Grade 5 H six days ago. Rates among the chances this time.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 435m at this track. Other runners look much more appealing.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 0.8 lengths second at Warragul but did record a convincing 22.57 over the 400m journey. Rates a top chance with a repeat here.
