Ballarat Race 10 - Ule Hoof Oil (Bm66)

CAPTAIN REDBEARD (5) is in great form lately, lifting strongly to score over 1400m at Warrnambool last time, making it two wins on the trot. Looks ready for the longer journey and might just be a little sharper than some of the other talented types in this, who are at their best over further. DURBAN HARBOUR (6) is one of them, but has been freshened since disappointing 51 days ago when 10th over 2400m at Sandown. This is the right grade for him to run a race at this trip, though. SOLDIER BOI (9) is back from a spell and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 1525m at Geelong. Fitter for a recent trial win at Burrumbeet. Key runner. THE MUFFIN MAN (11) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1300m at Bendigo, beaten 3 lengths. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time. HAARACAINE (2) was plain first-up, but had market respect there and has performed well in better grade than this so might be worth another chance.

Back from a spell. Finished off last campaign won by neck Taunton Nov Hurdle March 24 over 3319m defeating Sinchi Roca with 71kg at $1.80. Previous preparation first-up favourite; won by nose Musselburgh January 1 over 3118m defeating Scarlet Moon with 70kg at $3. Might be better off following this outing.

Gelding back from a spell of four-and-a-half months. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last campaign second in a small field at Sandown-Lakeside Bm74 June 3 over 2400m, on heavy track; 2 len behind Empress Of The Sun carrying 56kg at $6. First up last campaign sixth of 8 at Pakenham Mdn-Sw February 19 over 1600m, 5.5 len behind Mr Independent carrying 59.5kg at $7. Better over further but this a suitable first-up option.

Recent form sound. Last start raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.75 len in a Bm62 at Warrnambool on September 21 over 1400m defeating Fully Justified carrying 60kg at $3.30. The start before that came from midfield and won by 2.25 len in a Mdn-Sw at Warrnambool on September 3 over 1400m in heavy going defeating Pappa Ritch with 59.5kg at $2.60. This looks a great progression for a lightly-raced type with a bit of scope.

Returns from a 51-day let-up. Last start ran last of 10 in a Bm66 at Sandown-Lakeside on August 19 over 2400m, slow going 17 len behind Pressurised with 60kg at $8.50. Before that ran on from midfield; 2nd of 10 in a Bm70 at Sandown-Lakeside on August 2 over 2100m, slow going head behind Sunsets with 57.5kg at $12. Back in trip but might have some spring in the legs after a freshen up.

Last start 3rd of 11 in a Bm62 at Mornington on September 17 over 1500m, 4.5 len behind Kastun Star carrying 60kg at $31. The race before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 10 in a Bm62 at Pakenham Synthetic on August 16 over 1600m, 2.25 len behind Zorb with 60.5kg at $61. Better effort last start but this a step up.

At the latest run ran on from midfield and won by a nose in a Bm56 at Wodonga on September 15 over 1400m defeating Hell's Itch with 58.5kg at $11. The race before that 3rd of 12 in a Bm56 at Pakenham Synthetic on August 24 over 1400m, 1.5 len behind Octane Reign carrying 58.5kg at $26. Narrow winner in easier grade last start, so happy to risk.

Has won previously first-up and resumes here after a break of three-and-a-half months. Finished off last preparation fifth of 9 at Ballarat Synthetic Bm66 June 24 over 2100m, 4.5 len behind Sunsets with 58kg at $3.10. Previous preparation first-up favourite; won by 3 len Geelong Mdn-Sw April 22 over 1525m defeating High Altitude carrying 59kg at $4. Looks forward enough after a recent trial win. Everything points to a positive return.

Third-up today. First-up 7th of 12 in a Mdn-Sw at Casterton on August 30 over 1400m, slow going 8 len behind Brutalrule carrying 59.5kg at $9. Second run from a spell won by 0.8 len in a Mdn-Sw at Donald on September 12 over 1620m defeating Sunday Vendetta carrying 59.5kg at $5.50. Back in form but this looks a tougher assignment.

Second run back. First-up after four months 4th of 9 in a Cl1 at Bendigo on September 20 over 1300m, 3 len behind Bella Verona with 58kg at $9.50. Previously second-up 9th of 13 in a Bm62 at Geelong on April 22 over 1525m, 3.5 len behind Move The Torana carrying 61kg at $12. Rates highly and expected to do much better with that run under his belt.
