Ballarat Race 9 - Woodlands Stud Pace
FAMOUS CRIMES (7) must overcome a very wide draw. Has the class to take care of this field. SHAZZA LOVE (6) went back last start and made a long sustained run but couldn't quite get there when 2.25 metres from the winner in fourth at Kilmore over 1690m. Leading hope if things go her way. KEAYANG SEASIDE (4) is the next best after finishing runner-up over 2240m at Melton last time out. LETS GO LORNA (2) has place claims after finishing fifth over 1785m at Stawell last time out. Include in combinations.
