Ballarat (H) Race 6 - Izuzu Ute Trot (2Nd Heat)
MY HIGH PEAK (5) has had mixed fortunes since winning at this circuit last month, breaking in his next outing but leading and fighting well to go under by just a head last start Melton. Owns a decent record over the distance here. Top chance. THE SKY IS THE LIMIT (9) was brave last week when she raced three wide without cover but stuck on for fourth at Geelong. Put together a hat trick of wins last month, one of them from this barrier at Melton. Major player. NOBLE COUNT (7) locked wheels when a beaten favourite last time but the other two efforts this time in were strong, winning at Melton and missing by a nose here. Can bounce back. ALFIE ALWAYS (3) has drawn to advantage and must be respected off the last-start win.
