Ballarat Race 1 - Ballarattrottingclub.com.au Concession Drivers Pace (Ratings Exempt)
FOREGONE CONCLUSION NZ (6) is in a purple patch of form having won his last two outings in this class, digging deep to get home by a half head at Shepparton last week. Draws wider but is going well enough to overcome that and land the hat trick. IMALLATTITUDE (2) draws much better than when far from disgraced last start. Worked but proved too good at Maryborough prior. Should get every chance from this barrier. ROCKLEIGHS LEGACY (7) was first up for two months when beaten 2.4m as runner-up at Kilmore last week. Draws wide but is open to improvement with that hitout under the belt. FREAK OUT (8) added to a string of wins and placings when scoring by a half neck at Melton last Friday. Draws on the back row this time so may need a touch of luck but the consistency is hard to knock. QUICK CRUNCH (10) is another starting from the second line but she is racing well with back-to-back wins last month, one here and the other from this row at Cranbourne.

Last start then managed to finish seventh over 2180m at Stawell last start. Two runs back was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr7) over 1680m at Terang was 7th-13.6 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Easy Rolling (2:05.70) on July 12 at $71. This looks tough.

Showed ability the race before when he tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.75 m as favourite when driven back in the field, (Fr3) held up early, at Maryborough (2:43.00) beating Typhoon in on July 13 at $1.85 at the bell was 2nd-0.8. Should get every chance from this draw.

Nine-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at Shepparton and Kilmore. Last start tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a nose (Fr3) at Shepparton (2:03.10) beating Elizajane in on July 14 at $2.90 at the bell was 3rd-4.12. Has winning claims again.
