OVERVIEW: IM THE REASON (12) has performed well at the trials since his last run back in mid-March, beating some much higher-rated horses at Maryborough before a runner-up effort at Bacchus Marsh. He broke his maiden on the back of some good efforts in early March and can run well at likely good odds in this open event to start the meeting at Ballarat. GLENLINE (3) is a horse that rarely wins but is often hitting the line hard, and has done just that his past two starts when runner-up at Bendigo and Ballarat. From this draw, if he lands handy to the speed, he’s a big chance. EMJAY JAZZ (8) is going really well of late and might trail through the possible early leader here in GOZO MAJOR (1), while there’s a huge watch on THE FINAL DANCE (7) who is first-up for the powerhouse Emma Stewart stable but hasn’t been seen at the trials since making the stable switch. Plenty of hopes here! BACK: IM THE REASON (12) – 0.5 unit (win)/1.5 units (place)

OVERVIEW: IM THE REASON (12) has performed well at the trials since his last run back in mid-March, beating some much higher-rated horses at Maryborough before a runner-up effort at Bacchus Marsh. He broke his maiden on the back of some good efforts in early March and can run well at likely good odds in this open event to start the meeting at Ballarat. GLENLINE (3) is a horse that rarely wins but is often hitting the line hard, and has done just that his past two starts when runner-up at Bendigo and Ballarat. From this draw, if he lands handy to the speed, he’s a big chance. EMJAY JAZZ (8) is going really well of late and might trail through the possible early leader here in GOZO MAJOR (1), while there’s a huge watch on THE FINAL DANCE (7) who is first-up for the powerhouse Emma Stewart stable but hasn’t been seen at the trials since making the stable switch. Plenty of hopes here! BACK: IM THE REASON (12) – 0.5 unit (win)/1.5 units (place)

Race comment
OVERVIEW: IM THE REASON (12) has performed well at the trials since his last run back in mid-March, beating some much higher-rated horses at Maryborough before a runner-up effort at Bacchus Marsh. He broke his maiden on the back of some good efforts in early March and can run well at likely good odds in this open event to start the meeting at Ballarat. GLENLINE (3) is a horse that rarely wins but is often hitting the line hard, and has done just that his past two starts when runner-up at Bendigo and Ballarat. From this draw, if he lands handy to the speed, he’s a big chance. EMJAY JAZZ (8) is going really well of late and might trail through the possible early leader here in GOZO MAJOR (1), while there’s a huge watch on THE FINAL DANCE (7) who is first-up for the powerhouse Emma Stewart stable but hasn’t been seen at the trials since making the stable switch. Plenty of hopes here! BACK: IM THE REASON (12) – 0.5 unit (win)/1.5 units (place)

Race comment
OVERVIEW: IM THE REASON (12) has performed well at the trials since his last run back in mid-March, beating some much higher-rated horses at Maryborough before a runner-up effort at Bacchus Marsh. He broke his maiden on the back of some good efforts in early March and can run well at likely good odds in this open event to start the meeting at Ballarat. GLENLINE (3) is a horse that rarely wins but is often hitting the line hard, and has done just that his past two starts when runner-up at Bendigo and Ballarat. From this draw, if he lands handy to the speed, he’s a big chance. EMJAY JAZZ (8) is going really well of late and might trail through the possible early leader here in GOZO MAJOR (1), while there’s a huge watch on THE FINAL DANCE (7) who is first-up for the powerhouse Emma Stewart stable but hasn’t been seen at the trials since making the stable switch. Plenty of hopes here! BACK: IM THE REASON (12) – 0.5 unit (win)/1.5 units (place)
