Ballarat Race 6 - Interpath Pace (1St Heat)
MICTON MOUSE (1) was well in the market last start at Geelong and performed well to finish just 1.8m off the winner. Should enjoy the favours from this draw so has winning claims. YANKEE GAMBLER (6) raced parked but toughed out a win at Melton two back then did some work from this barrier when placed here last time. Going well and has winning claims if things go his way. TOO THE MAX (3) is in the mix again after placing from this draw last week at Geelong. MONSIEUR FLAMEL (7) draws deep but is a two-time winner at this venue and distance.

Last start game effort when 3rd (Fr6) over 1710m after racing wide at this track, beaten 6 m by Speedy Healey (2:04.60) in NR 40 to 45 on July 10 at $14. Two runs back won by 1.1 m when quickly away, (Fr5) at Melton (2:04.40) beating Home And Dry in NR 37 to 42 on July 4 at $16 at the bell was leading 1.52. Capable of playing a major role.
