Ballarat Race 2 - Ferndale Foods Trot

IMPERIAL COMMAND (4) is racing well with two wins from this row and a second from the back line from his last three starts. Led from a similar draw to this and dug deep to score at Melton last time. Big chance again. JACK SPRAT (9) draws on the back row but is going well, racing parked when placed last time and winning three of his previous four. Hasn't missed a place at this distance. Strong claims. ROMANTIC NINA (2) added to a string of top-four finishes when third at Melton last start. led from a similar draw on that occasion so can give a sight again. MIELICKI (8) put the writing on the wall with back-to-back placings before a fighting win at Kilmore last week. With even luck from the back row can feature. Something for the Multiples: IMPERIAL COMMAND NZ (4)

Didn't do much at the last run, was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr3) over 2150m at Bendigo, beaten 40 m by Kyvalley Maven (2:40.00) in NR 56 to 64 on July 9 at $16. Before that was well back in the run when 5th (Fr7) over 1609m at Geelong beaten 6 m by Jack Sprat (2:00.90) in NR 55 to 60 on June 27 at $15. Draws well but others preferred.
