Ballarat Race 3 - Manhari Mdn Plate
KISS MY ROCK (5) is knocking on the door with minor placings at all four runs this time in. He was beaten at $1.50 at Avoca last time out but back to 1500m looks to suit better. Go close. SAKER FALCON (7) was very good on debut here over 1400m, finding the line nicely for third. Tough draw but looks a huge chance. BLINDEDBYTHELIGHT (10) finished seventh on debut but wasn't far away after getting back in a slowly run race. With more pace on here and Blake Shinn booked, she should take beating. WEATHER DELAY (9) just missed at Werribee second up and should be thereabouts. MAKHANDA (6) has each way claims.

Having third race start. At long odds at debut, got back early 7th of 10 at Kyneton 3yo Mdn-Sw on March 20 over 1212m, slow going 9 len behind Fear No Evil carrying 58kg at $26.

First up last campaign ninth of 11 at Bendigo Mdn-Sw September 8 over 1600m, 10 len behind Theophilus carrying 57kg at $26. Might be better off following this outing.
