Ballarat Race 3 - John Slack Memorial Trotters Cup (Group 3)
Star trotter JUST BELIEVE (9) extended his winning streak to six when proving too good in his last-start success in the G3 Shepparton Cup. He has won all three attempts at this circuit and distance and should strip fitter again third-up so is hard to go past. KEAYANG CHUCKY (4) made a strong return when he raced parked to win by more than 5m at Melton. This is a tougher line-up but he strikes at 50 per cent when second-up. IM READY JET (8) draws on the back line but came from there in a resuming win at Melton, her first outing since landing a G1 for the mares in Sydney in May. Go well again. HARRY STAMPER (5) scored back-to-back Melton wins before chasing JUST BELIEVE as runner up in the Shepparton Cup. It won't be easy to turn the tables but he does draw a couple of spots closer to the pegs. ARCEE PHOENIX (7) cops a wide draw for his return but is two from two when fresh and did beat JUST BELIEVE in a Melton win two back so is a talent.
