Ballarat Race 1 - Ballarattrottingclub.com.au Pace
HOME AND DRY NZ (4) raced parked and stuck on for third last start at this venue, beaten 5.7 metres, after overcoming a back row draw in scoring at the previous appearance at Cranbourne. Leading hope. THE REGULATOR (2) was in the money at Terang two runs ago before going back from a wide draw and making up some ground but never threatening at his latest appearance. Likely to get better favours from this nice draw. SUPER CODE (3) produced a good effort last time out when he raced parked from this barrier but stuck on for third at this circuit and distance. Tricky draw for THEROUX (11) but he is up to winning this with even luck.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Just Like Nugget at this track over 2200m on September 2 at $23. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Ted Bear at this track over 2200m on September 16 at $3.10. Can play a role.

Good performance when beaten by 6 m finishing fifth behind Wow You Can Dance at Echuca over 1755m on September 22 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after showing early speed, behind Corbie Laidir at Shepparton over 1690m on September 29 at $26. Can get into the finish.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 6th (Sr3) over 2180m at Terang beaten 24 m by Yankee Rain (2:40.80) on September 28 at $10. The run before and went on to finish a respectable sixth over 1710m at this track last start. May be hard to beat with even luck.
