Ballarat Race 8 - Ballarat Wildlife Hospital Pace

DREAMS FOREVER (4) was a beaten favourite last time but did have to work. Had produced some good efforts in the Vicbred Super Series prior including a close second in the heats and a fourth in a semi. Worth another chance. THEROUX (1) has been far from disgraced when midfield from back row barriers of late. Leading hope from this much more favourable draw. SUPER CODE (5) draws a little wider but is in contention after racing parked but sticking on to finish in the placings in his last two outings at this circuit and distance. FREAK OUT (2) draws well and is in the mix following a fifth from the back line at his most recent appearance here.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 6th (Sr4) over 2200m at this track, at the bell was 8th-14.14 beaten 12 m by Wichita Kansas (2:41.80) on October 7 at $4.80. At the previous start 6th (Sr3) over 2180m at Terang, beaten 24 m by Yankee Rain (2:40.80) on September 28 at $10. Gets the ace draw so is capable of far better.

Last start 5th (Sr3) over 2200m at this track was 6th-11.83 at the bell, beaten 5 m by Wichita Kansas (2:41.80) on October 7 at $31. At the start before surrendered the lead and finished 7th (Fr1) over 2240m after showing early speed at Melton beaten 30 m by Feel The Reign (2:44.50) on October 2 at $26. One to consider as his best is good enough.

Finding that maiden win elusive. Last start 5th (Fr1) over 2200m at this track was 2nd-3.48 at the bell, beaten 17 m by Bella Louise (2:44.60) in M on October 1 at $1.50. The run before 10th (Fr7) over 2240m at Melton beaten 50 m by Kahula (2:40.10) in 2yo G1 on September 12 at $81. Deserves another chance.

Fair performance when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Ted Bear at this track over 2200m on September 16 at $3.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Wichita Kansas at this track over 2200m on October 7 at $3.40. Solid claims.

Didn't do much last time out, was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr5) over 2200m at this track beaten 21 m by Cool Story (2:44.30) on October 7 at $19. Before that was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr6) over 1710m at this track, beaten 40 m by King Baldwin (2:02.10) on October 1 at $51. Hard to have on those efforts.
