Ballarat Race 3 - Vhrc / Benstud Pace

METRO MEMORY (9) was a beaten favourite at Kilmore last time but was only 3.2 metres from the winner. Had finished top three in his prior four outings including a win from this row at Swan Hill. Can win this. TOPHUT JOHNY (3) led from one spot wider and finished fourth at his latest appearance at Bendigo. Owns a good record at this circuit and distance and is likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. BEST BACK BRUCE (7) did some work last start but placed in two of his previous three outings so is on the radar despite a wide draw. JONDORRO (1) has won second up before so can improve from the ace draw.

Two back was beaten by 10 m finishing seventh after a quick start, behind Surfin At Midnight at Charlton over 1609m in a NR 40 to 45 on February 26 at $11. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Martin Magic at Terang over 1680m in a NR up to 49 on March 5 at $9.50. Go well.
