13:35 Ballarat R2 No7 Bishop Of Derry (1) -
13:53 Canterbury R1 No9 Coco Kerringle (1) - lightly raced improver by Exceed and Excel out of the Dolphin Street mare Dol, comes into this having its 2nd career start on the back of fatlering after setting a hot pace on debut in the Strawberry Hill Magic Million Prelude at Randwick, winner of 3 very impressive trial efforts outside of that debut run, has abundant early speed, every chance of going wire to wire especially with blinkers removed, got way too fired up setting a suicidal pace last time out.
13:53 Canterbury R1 Trifecta - Boxed 1,4,5,6,8,9
14:10 Ballarat R3 No11 Spirit Bay (1) - has been knocking on the door for sometime now and likely to go around a decent price here with merit around form refs well hidden, 3 back just missed against similar then finished 1.7l 4th at Caulfield to Our Lona, form refs back through the btn brigade suggest run full of merit for what it faces here, overly well bred by Invincible Spirit out of the River Rough mare White Water Bay, drawn well for a good trip likely closer to an the speed, Newitt booked.
14:10 Ballarat R3 No3 Elusive Burst (1) - 1st start by hot young sire Elusive City out of a Flying Spur mare, well drawn with good hoop Ivan Culliver booked for the astute Robbie Griffiths yard, has claims and likely at a good price.

14:28 Canterbury R2 No9 Sobo (1)
14:28 Canterbury R2 Trifecta - Boxed 7,8,9,10
14:45 Ballarat R4 No7 Definitive (1) - makes a sharp drop in grade here for its 2nd up assault for the astute Moody yard, 3rd up last prep finished 1.8l 3rd to The Tiger over 1500m on this track, big margins further back and the subsequent strong form of the other 2 place getters suggest Definitive is up to breaking maiden grade against the lot it faces here, well bred by Redoute's Choice out of the Citidancer mare Mascara Magic, 3/4 brother to smart 2yo of this season Shadow Assassin who was an unlucky 4th in the Magic Millions 2yo classic and start prior won the Magic Millions prelude on Boxing day in Sydney.
14:45 Ballarat R4 Quinella - 7 with 2,8,11,14
15:03 Canterbury R3 No4 Dance On Waves (2) - lightly raced improver having 2nd career start and 1st up from a spell here, comes into this ready to fire on the back of winning a trial over the Group class Love And Kisses by 0.8l, only career start so far was 2nd to the potential topliner Palacia De Cristral btn 2.5l, that day tracked a slow tempo and lost its position on the turn before making big headway once the penny dropped in the stretch, obviously well above average and breeding suggests same by Anabaa out of Ancient Lights, Nikolic booked for the astute Gerald Ryan camp and drawn a good gate to get a nice trip tracking the speed.
15:03 Canterbury R3 Quinella - 4 with 5,6,10
15:20 Ballarat R5 No4 Crown Ruby (1) - toughish kind of affair with form references coming from everywhere, leant towards Crown Ruby on top, now 4th up at peak fitness and effort 2 back when 3rd btn 2.7l at Caulfield over 1100m by Dane On Air suggest it is up to winning in this company, maor queries around Running Riot and Code Black but this one seems to have the edge on exposed form, likely for a good trip tracking the speed from midfield.

16:40 Ballarat R7 No12 Promiscuous Girl (1)
16:40 Ballarat R7 Quinella - 1,4,12
17:20 Ballarat R8 No9 You Or Me (2) - lightly raced improver who comes into this 2nd up from a spell and subject to improvement on 1st up effort when came from well off the pace over 1300m to hit the front along the inside 150m out and extend the margin in deep stretch hitting the line strongly, well bred by More Than Ready out of the Marauding mare Zena Warrior, 1st foal, well drawn from the 3 alley with competent hoop Dwayne Dunn booked for astute placer of horses Rick Hore-Lacy, ticks a lot of boxes, best bet on the card.
