Ballarat Race 1 - Ian Larkin Memorial Mdn Hrdl

One for the thrill-seekers to start the day with BOLD SOUL (1) deep odds-on at his jumps debut. Easy to see why, though, as an ever-reliable flat performer who raced consistently through winter in some Flemington staying events. Defeated last year's Grand National Hurdle winner Highland Blaze in the latest of them and showed his aptitude for jumps racing with a steeple trial win since. If something goes awry with him, KHOR (2) looks the obvious. He's also on debut over the twigs and was well held by BOLD SOUL last start on the flat but ran fourth in the Warrnambool Cup earlier in the year and has had one more trial than the favourite in preparation for this. Got the rest, of which we'll give the nod to FLYING WITNESS (7) who is a little more seasoned over the jumps than most rivals. RED ACES (5) probably has more improvement to come than others, so he could improve. OMEO (4) was outclassed last start, but did enough the run prior to be a place chance here.

Useful type. Freshened for 29 days. Last outing came from midfield and won by a head Flemington Qlty on July 18 over 2800m on rain affected going defeating Highland Blaze carrying 59kg at $5.50. Start before sat on the pace then finished second of 10 starters at Flemington Banjo Paterson on July 4 over 2600m, on slow going 2.25 len behind Highland Blaze carrying 60kg at $8. Fought on last time. Expected to handle the transition well and will prove very tough to beat.

Useful gelding. Comes off a 43 day let-up. Last run raced on the pace prior to fading finished seventh of 10 runners at Flemington Banjo Paterson on July 4 over 2600m, on slow going 7 len behind Highland Blaze with 55kg at $10. Race before won by 0.5 len Sandown-Hillside Bm84 on May 23 over 2400m on rain affected going defeating Kurakka carrying 56kg at $17. Key chance on best and expected to measure up.

Last outing ran last in a small field at Sandown-Lakeside Bm120 Hdle on August 2 over 3400m, in the wet; 41 len behind Split carrying 64kg at $101. Start before finished fourth of 9 starters at Coleraine Mdn Hdle-Sw on July 19 over 3300m, slow track; 12 len behind Embezzler with 66.5kg at $31. Can bounce back here. Appeals as an each-way hope on best figures.
