Ballarat (H) Race 5 - Apco Service Stations 0-2 Ltw Pace
KATUNGA EXPRESS (8) looks ready to win after placing in both starts since a spell. Led for a 1.6m third when fresh at Bendigo then draw wider on this row at Charlton last start and settled back but closed strongly to miss by a neck. Has won three of four attempts at this distance and won his only third-up attempt so can peak tonight. MY WAY (2) added to a string of top-four finishes when beaten just a head into second at Cranbourne last start. Has had a let-up since but should enjoy an economical run from this draw. Leading hope. CHEYS ANGEL (6) was held up last start but has claims off a win three back at Hamilton. FREAK OUT (5) is worth some thought after he was beaten only 4.4m in a last-start fifth at Yarra Valley.

Last start 5th (Sr2) over 1790m at Ararat was 5th-13.2 at the bell, beaten 10 m by Heavy Metal Hammer (2:13.50) in MAIDEN on November 11 at $51. Two runs back 6th (Fr1) over 1710m at this track beaten 25 m by Picture Us Rollin (2:04.00) in 4yo+ MAIDEN on October 31 at $41. This looks far too tough.

Freshened-up since the last run 53 days ago. Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow second behind Ya Bottom Dollar at Cranbourne over 2080m 0-2 WINS last start. Before that was beaten 4.5 metres fourth at Bendigo over 1650m in 2 WINs on September 25. Should make an impact again.

Well-beaten 8 days ago at Charlton over 1609m, and two back surrendered the lead and finished 7th (Fr3) over 1609m after showing early speed at Geelong beaten 30 m by Ray Dan (1:57.30) in 0-2 WINS on November 1 at $71. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Recent efforts haven't been up to her best. Last start surrendered the lead and finished 7th (Fr4) over 2100m after showing early pace at Charlton, beaten 20 m by Goodtime Libby (2:35.30) in NR 50 to 55 on November 13 at $2.90.

A better run is on the cards.
