Trots MT Ballarat

3-8 Ballarat 19Aug26 1710MS $6,000 NR 48 to 52 Fr5 Jason Ainsworth $71, btn 1.7m, wnr Black And Gold 0, 2:01.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Two back was fifth behind Lord Logan at Geelong over 2100m on August 14 at $19. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.75 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Black And Gold at this track over 1710m on August 19 at $71. Inside draw will assist and is capable of going very well.

3-6 Geelong 14Aug26 2100MS $6,000 0-1 WIN Fr6 Anne-Maree Conroy $5, btn 22.3m, wnr Lord Logan 0, 2:01.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Improved last start with a solid effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr6) over 2100m at Geelong beaten 22 m by Lord Logan (2:39.00) on August 14 at $5. Drawn to advantage and expected to go well again.

6-3 Bendigo 11May26 2150SS Trial FR1 Joe Attard btn 3m, wnr ALWAYS SKYE HIGH 0.0, (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Lines up again after a break of nine months. Well beaten at the end of his last preparation when twelfth at very big odds behind Keayang Bazlenka. Recent trials will help bring him on but a lack of race-fitness might work against.

7-8 Ballarat 19Aug26 2200MS $5,000 NR up to 47 Fr1 Scott Torney $151, btn 29.4m, wnr Shaq The Anvil 0, 2:02.8 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Slowly away as the start was effected.

Didn't do much at the last run, 7th (Fr1) over 2200m at this track beaten 30 m by Shaq The Anvil (2:47.90) on August 19 at $151. Before that 5th (Fr1) over 2190m at Maryborough, beaten 50 m by Rastamon (2:45.70) on August 3 at $81. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

1-2 Penrith 03Aug26 1720SS Trial Fr1 Billy Muscat won by 6.2m, 2nd MAJESTIC FUNDS 0.0, (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

First up. At the last run he finished 7th (Fr7) over 2300m at Menangle, beaten 50 m by Elle Perfecto (2:50.20) in 3yo on April 21 at $13. Sure to go well while fresh.

10-10 Kilmore 20Aug26 1690MS $5,000 NR up to 44 Sr4 Joey Sharp $34, btn 99.7m, wnr Against The Bridle 0, 1:58.8 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Broke gait shortly after the start and trailed the field thereafter.

Backing up quickly since being well beaten Kilmore over 1690m, 6 days ago before that 9th (Fr3) over 1690m at Kilmore beaten 23 m by Champagnes (2:06.00) on August 13 at $8.50. Must do a lot more.

3-10 Kilmore 06Aug26 2180MS $6,000 0-1 WIN Sr3 Chris Alford $19, btn 7.5m, wnr Pass The Salt 0, 2:05.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Two back was seventh behind Hold That Magic at Shepparton over 2190m on July 21 at $3.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Pass The Salt at Kilmore over 2180m on August 6 at $19. Among the major players.
