Ararat Race 5 - Deb's Diner Pace

SHARP INTEREST (9) hasn't raced since the Tatlow Stakes last October but had good form prior including a win three back at Charlton. Draws on the back line but finds a winnable assignment first up. YANKEE GAMBLER (6) put the writing on the wall last time with a 1.5m second at Geelong. Back on the front row. Has winning claims. ITTAKESLUV (4) draws better than last time and came from this barrier to lead and win two back at Kilmore. Owns a good record at this distance. Major player. MAJOR ASSASSIN (8) came from this barrier to win last start at Maryborough. Go well again.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr5) over 1609m at Charlton was 7th-17.6 at the bell, beaten 13 m by No Emotion (1:56.90) in NR 40 to 45 on April 23 at $7.50. Showed ability the run before when he posted a big 5.5 m win as favourite (Sr2) at Maryborough (2:02.70) beating Jackierabbit in NR up to 39 on April 14 at $3.30 at the bell was 7th-16.2. Drawn favourably and worth another chance.

Last start was well beaten into eighth after being driven well back, behind Sporty Philtra at Cranbourne over 2080m in a NR up to 49 on May 11 at $26. Performed better the start before where she won by a head when quickly away, (Fr3) at Kilmore (2:44.90) beating Onecrowdedhour in NR 40 to 45 on May 1 at $12 at the bell was leading 1.72. Winning prospects.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Tophut Johny at Bendigo over 2150m in a NR up to 49 on April 23 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Sporty Philtra at Geelong over 1609m in a NR up to 46 on May 2 at $6. Likely to play a major role.
