Ballarat Race 6 - Izuzu Ute Ballarat Trot
SNICKERS EXPRESS (9) continued his good form when he drew wide and went back last start but worked home in good style to finish 4.5 metres from the winner in third at this circuit and distance. Has only once missed the placings in his last six starts and if things go his way from the back row he could break through. CHILLHUNNYBUNNY (5) worked so wasn't disgraced last week after a good second when resuming from a spell here the run prior. Should be nearing her peak now so give her another chance. NEDZA THRILLER (6) looks close to a win after finishing runner-up from a standing start at Charlton last time out. LOUIEVILLE LASS (4) has been freshened since working last start but is a chance based on a good third at Geelong two runs back.
