Ballarat Race 4 - Vhrc / Renown Silverware Pace
MUSELET (7) broke through for a maiden win at Bendigo two back then produced a good effort from the back row when 3 metres from the winner in third at this circuit. Capable of a return to the winner's list. NOTHING SWEETER (5) resumes here after closing her last campaign with a fifth at Melton on January 2 to follow a win at Cranbourne. Proven at this circuit and is expected to perform well. ALOOK TO LIKE (8) is a player after coming from this row and finishing runner-up at this venue last time out. VERY TEMPTING (1) has been coming from wider barriers of late so can do better from the ace draw.

Didn't do much last start, 6th (Fr2) over 1710m at this track, at the bell was 5th-7.73 beaten 10 m by Monsieur Flamel (2:06.10) in NR up to 49 on March 6 at $81. Before that 10th (Fr3) over 1609m at Geelong, beaten 17 m by Tinsel Tiara (1:57.90) in NR up to 49 on February 21 at $26. Will not find this easy. Not keen.
