Ballarat Race 7 - Ballarattrottingclub.com.au Pace
There was merit in the latest performance of SILVER DOMINO (4) when he raced parked from a wider draw and finished fourth at Kilmore. Came from this barrier when second at Melton last month. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role in the outcome. JOHNNY REDCOAT (11) has been tackling higher-graded races of late but scored a win at Charlton the last time he raced at this level. Major player with even luck. BLISSFULL LILLY (6) is in the mix following a respectable second at her most recent appearance at Geelong when she led from a similar draw to this and boxed on. REINDER (5) wasn't too far away last start and returns to the front line.

Worth another chance. Can do better.

Last start was well beaten into seventh after being driven well back, behind Feelingoodfreddie at Hamilton over 2160m in a NR up to 44 on March 26 at $6. Performed better the start before with a good run when 2nd (Fr5) over 1780m after showing early speed at Mt Gambier, at the bell was 3rd-4.4 beaten 5 m by Miki Steamed Home (2:13.00) in 4yo+ NR up to 45 on March 15 at $17. Rates highly. Best form should see him in the finish.
