Ballarat Race 3 - Qa Electrical Maiden Trot
METRO SWISH NZ (1) led from a couple of spots wider and kept kicking for a 1.5m second last time out at Maryborough, making it four minor placings in succession. The hoof is on the till and she has the gate speed to take advantage of the ace draw so could deliver here. PIPALICIOUS (10) kicked off her campaign with three placings before manners let her down last time. Has trialled well since. Draws on the back row but is good enough to overcome that with her A-game. BIG RAIN (6) followed up a debut placing with a fourth as favourite at her most recent appearance at Cranbourne. Has upside. KICKABARREL (11) must be considered after he finished runner-up from this row at Cranbourne last time out.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 1.5 m second behind Chantilly Lass at Maryborough over 2190m MAIDEN last start. Before that was beaten 3 metres third at Globe Derby Park over 1800m in 3 LIFETIME WINS on February 16. Close to a win and gets the ace draw so this could be her chance.

Last start broke and was well beaten into sixth behind La Lune Noire at Bendigo over 2150m in a 3yo MAIDEN on February 6 at $1.20. Performed better the start before with a solid effort when 2nd (Sr1) over 1690m at Kilmore was 3rd-7.8m on the pegs at the bell, beaten a nose by Classic Fair (2:08.30) in 3yo MAIDEN on January 15 at $5. Has trialled since breaking last time and is a big chance with manners.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Leggy Peggy at this track over 1710m in a 4yo+ MAIDEN on February 5 at $4.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing second behind Aldebaran Axl at Cranbourne over 2080m in a MAIDEN on February 22 at $4.20. Nice effort last time. Can be thereabouts again.
