Ballarat Race 2 - Veolia Mdn Plate
Wide open with a host of improvers. FUTURE FRANKIE (10) showed ability in first campaign but perhaps the best run was the debut placing over a mile. Wound up strongly and expected to be doing the same here fresh. OR AM I (12) is yet to break through after six career starts. Could only manage to finish fifth last time out over 1717m at Sale following a minor placing at Werribee over 1629m the run prior. Overdue and this suits. SILKY SETH (6) is a two-start maiden who placed on debut then could only manage eighth last start, beaten 4 lengths over 1300m at Seymour. Little below par latest but extra trip a plus and deserves another chance. SHARE THE STARS (8) has placed last two and will take running down. RORKES DRIFT (5) was a solid fourth on debut and can only be improved.

Raced twice to date. At debut, 3rd of 7 at Cranbourne 3yo Mdn-Sw on January 30 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Fly By Light carrying 58kg at $12. Second-up ran on from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Werribee Mdn-Sw on February 17 over 1400m, 1.0 len behind It's Gnarly carrying 59kg at $5.50. Won't be far away with a repeat of that latest performance.

Form hard to fault. Last start raced on speed throughout when 3rd of 14 at Seymour Mdn-Sw on February 20 over 1300m, 0.6 len behind Vim Vitae carrying 57.5kg at $5. The run before that raced on speed throughout when 3rd of 8 at Kyneton F&M Mdn-Sw on January 31 over 1454m, 0.8 len behind One More Star carrying 58kg at $2.35. Thereabouts last time out. Long overdue and has claims off the inside.

Racing well recently. Most recently held ground to the line 2nd of 9 at Kilmore Mdn-Sw on February 13 over 1450m, 0.8 len behind Crespiano with 57.5kg at $5.50. Before that 3rd of 8 at Cranbourne Mdn-Sw on January 22 over 1200m, 5 len behind Kippis with 57.5kg at $6.50. Shapes as a key runner and will take catching.

Returns from a 37-day let-up. At the latest run 5th of 11 at Sale Mdn-Sw on February 1 over 1717m, 2.5 len behind Kazaru with 57kg at $10. The start before that ran on strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 7 at Werribee Mdn-Sw on January 12 over 1629m, 2.25 len behind Komito with 56kg at $4.20. Close to a win and is one of the main hopes.
