Ballarat Race 5 - 7+ Pace

BREATHE EASY (8) added to a string of top-two finishes when he came from this row to be edged out narrowly at his latest appearance at Maryborough. Won two in a row prior, one of them from this line. Big chance with even luck. LESTER (7) draws out but is going well and must rate highly after scoring from the second line last start at Charlton, his third success from his last five outings. SHIRALEE (5) is working towards a win and there was good merit the last start second. NORMANDY NUGGET (3) gets his best draw for some time and placed in each of his three visits to this venue.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing fourth behind Optimal at Hamilton over 1660m in a NR up to 50 on February 23 at $5. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.1 m finishing second behind Case Forty Eight at Ararat over 1790m in a NR up to 50 on February 27 at $23. Among the chances again.
