Ballarat Race 9 - Woodlands Stud Mares Pace

DREAMS FOREVER (1) was outclassed in the Vicbred Super Series 2F Final last start but had finished top-four in her other three outings so is better placed and aided by the ace draw. MIDNIGHT MOJO (2) is in good form and came from wider for third at her latest appearance at Melton, beaten 8 metres. Likely to get the favours from this nice draw so has winning claims. BELLA LOUISE (5) did a good job for fifth in a higher-graded race last start, beaten 4.5 metres at Melton. Draws a few spots wider but is expected to perform well in this company. MARGARITARI (4) must be included on the back of some solid recent form, most recently when second from a wider draw at Stawell.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing fourth behind Like A Gazelle at this track over 1710m in a M on September 2 at $16. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Frankie Under Fire at Stawell over 2180m on September 14 at $8.50. Racing well and capable of making an impact.
