Ballarat Race 6 - Ferndale Foods Pace

SWEET IRISH LOCH (4) ended her juvenile season by tackling the good fillies, last seen when midfield from a tough draw in the Breeders Crown Final in December. Two recent trial wins suggest she is back in good order so can make a winning return. ZOOM ZOOM BOOM (8) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at Kilmore. Draws for a trail and should be close to peak fitness third up. AMERICAN VICTORY (1) will be at her peak now and the ace draw can see improvement. MY MARIONETTE (5) is building in fitness and could show more.

Returns from the paddock. At the latest first-up run was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr6) over 2200m after showing early speed and racing wide at this track, beaten 45 m by Marjendos (2:45.40) in 4yo+ 0-1 WIN on June 5 at $2. Recent trials will help bring her on but a lack of race-fitness might work against.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Starzinhereyes at Charlton over 1609m in a NR 51 to 55 on April 26 at $3. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Sols Me Name at Kilmore over 2180m in a 0-1 WIN on May 7 at $8. Fitter so can progress further.

Failed to impress last start; broke in score up and was out of position at the start 9th (Fr5) over 1690m at Shepparton well beaten by Dusty Philtra (2:02.50) in 0-1 LTW on May 5 at $14. Showed ability the race before when she won by 4.5 m as favourite (Fr2) at Melton (2:05.80) beating Carapaz in 3yo MAIDEN on April 24 at $3.60 at the bell was 4th-4.65. Can be about the money.
