RACE COMMENT
ANALYSIS: Tricky way to start the meeting at Ballarat, but BETTING ATTACK (1) looks likely to run well given his good gate speed, nice barrier and recent form. He led, handed to DIAMONDONTHEROCKS (3) and then worked into second in a race a few of these contested at Bendigo on June 17. He’s a key winning chance. Fast beginner SEASIDE LADY (5) and JUST LIKE NUGGET (4) have been beaten less than 10m in their past five starts and appear ready to win a race, while MISTY ALWAYS (12) was somewhat of an eye-catcher on debut after galloping early, drifting back to last and then closing nicely to finish fifth. She was in the market in that race and might be the late closer from the wide back row draw.
