Ballarat Race 8 - Woodlands Stud Trot

DOUBLE DOT (4) put the writing on the wall with a strong showing in this same grade here last time, coming from this barrier for second. Multiple winner at this longer distance so could go one better. ALDEBARAN MAVERICK (2) showed improvement here last time when he came from this barrier to place. Fitter again third-up so has winning claims. NEDZA THRILLER (1) is a long-time maiden but did well to place from the back row last start and gets the ace draw tonight. MAJOR MAX (8) made a mess of the start last time but is a player off the win at Kilmore prior.

Two back was well beaten into eighth after being driven well back, behind Snickers Express at Bendigo over 2150m in a 0-1 WIN on July 2 at $151. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Modern Hope at Charlton over 1609m in a MAIDEN on July 7 at $12. Draws well and is likely to be involved in the finish.

Broke in score up and was out of position at the start 12th (Sr5) over 2150m at Bendigo well beaten by Whats The Tea (2:44.50) in NR up to 39 on June 25 at $18. Showed ability the race before when he won by a neck (Sr1) at Kilmore (2:49.80) beating The Night Queen in NR up to 39 on June 19 at $10 at the bell was 2nd-4.88. Better than the last run and can bounce back with manners.
