Ballarat Race 3 - 7+ Trot
IM EDDIE (5) was in the money two runs ago then found the frame again last time over 2200m at Horsham, finishing 13 metres from the winner in second. Meets some better types this time but he has the ability to test this field. HALLEBESOFINE (9) resumes from a spell of ten weeks after closing off last campaign in good form, the last run being a solid second over 2270m at Riverina Paceway. Should enjoy a nice smother from this draw and will be looking for a split at some stage. Expecting a bright start to the campaign. JESSICAS STORY (1) is close to a win after two successive placings, the latest a third over 1690m at Kilmore. Great chance to break through. SCAR (8) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 2240m at Melton.

Solid run when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Kimberleys Tree at Shepparton over 1690m on July 14 at $21. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after showing early speed, behind Distant Sun at Kilmore over 1690m on July 30 at $10. Hard to beat.

Didn't do much last start, was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr7) over 1710m at this track, beaten 23 m by Champagnes (2:07.70) in M on July 29 at $81. Before that 5th (30m) over 2200m at Horsham, beaten 65 m by Allawart Bob (2:52.10) on July 27 at $101. This looks far too tough.

Didn't do much last start, 5th (Fr1) over 2240m at Melton beaten 40 m by Alrighty (2:42.50) on August 1 at $101. Before that then settled down to finish fifth over 2200m at this track last start. Not keen.
