Ballarat Race 3 - Woodlands Stud Pace

KIMCHI (7) drew on the back row and came from a long way back to score by a head at Kilmore last week. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position but with even luck he is good enough to win a race of this calibre. NORMANDY NUGGET (4) came from this barrier when he won here two runs ago before finishing third at his latest appearance over this distance, beaten 3 metres after racing parked. Big chance to bounce back to winning form. REASON TO LAUGH (8) recorded back-to-back wins earlier in the month and could be close to another success after finishing runner-up at Kilmore last time out. SKYZ ABOVE (3) is worth some thought after coming from wider in her last-start fourth at this venue, beaten only 3.3m.
