Ballarat Race 2 - Veolia Mdn Plate
KOVU (4) has raced twice this time in, showing marked improvement second up at this track over 1600m when fourth, beaten under a length. Finds a winnable maiden here and can break through. SHADEELAA (7) ran well fresh at Geelong over this sort of trip, beaten two lengths into fourth. Fitter for that and should take beating on his home deck. FLYING SHELBY (3) was in the market fresh at Horsham and ran well enough for fourth. Lightly raced and should get a nice run on the speed. ELATION AND JOY (9) has shown a bit of promise in three runs to date, close up at Horsham last time. Tricky draw for the apprentice but has claims. SWEET CHIN MUSIC (11) has jumped out well and is in the mix.

Last start 10th of 12 at Warrnambool 4yo+ Mdn Plte on April 30 over 1700m, slow going 13 len behind Sardonian carrying 59.5kg at $21. The run before that 10th of 13 at Terang Mdn-Sw on April 13 over 1400m, 9 len behind Podargoni with 59.5kg at $26. Has had plenty of chances and tempted to look elsewhere.

Second run back. First-up after seven months 4th of 13 at Geelong Mdn-Sw on April 23 over 1512m, 2 len behind Frozen Tide carrying 59kg at $21. Previously second-up 5th of 12 at Ballarat Synthetic Mdn-Sw on June 14 over 1500m, 5 len behind Peerless Lad carrying 57kg at $11. Strips fitter and is well-placed to take this out.
