Ballarat Race 3 - Whitford Liquid Waste Mdn Plate
BEST TERMS (2) draws outside him but has the gate speed to lead this field. Resumed much improved with a near miss over 1300m at Seymour and is sure to improve off that. Rates the one they have to beat. INTERROGATE (4) improved to place at Sale and maps for a soft run. Hits this at peak and the longer sprint suits. Comes right into it. TRUTH SEEKER (9) debuts and has been well educated. Jamie Melham sticks from his latest jumpout and that's a decent push for his chances. TERRORTORIAN (1) didn't fore his only start last preparation, but showed enough the one before to keep onside. His Flemington jumpouts have been sharp for his return.

Facing the starter for the first time. Three-year-old gelding by Vadamos out of Galigo. At the most recent trial was out of the placings over 1000m at Caulfield Heath April 23. Wait and see what he can do.

Last start 3rd of 7 at Sale Mdn-Sw on April 8 over 1206m, 2 len behind Lauberhorn with 59kg at $5.50. The run before that second last of 7 at Sandown-Lakeside 3yo Mdn-Sw on March 25 over 1200m, on a slow track; 8 len behind Santana with 58kg at $7. Can improve again. One of the best chances.

Resuming after a break of four months. Finished off last preparation eighth of 11 at Warrnambool Mdn-Sw December 31 over 1700m, 6 len behind Reel Hot carrying 58kg at $19. First up last campaign seventh of 11 at Donald 3yo Mdn-Sw December 2 over 1350m, 8 len behind Neziha with 58kg at $12. Others look to make more appeal until he displays some improvement.

Second run back. First-up after two months 8th of 11 at Terang Mdn-Sw on April 12 over 1200m, on heavy track; 6 len behind Big Rooster carrying 57.5kg at $151. Previously second-up 9th of 13 at Terang 4yo+ Mdn-Sw on January 2 over 1200m, 12 len behind Frosty Night carrying 57.5kg at $201. Looks a fair way off peak form so others are preferred.

Filly by Knight Exemplar on debut. Ran 3rd in a jump-out at Ballarat on April 15. Trained here and aided by a nice alley but happy to watch this time.
