Sportsbet.Com.Au Ballarat Cup (LR)

WT: 54kg Type: OPEN

The Gai Waterhouse-trained Irish import The Offer ($4 favourite) broke through for his first Australian win in easy style. Damien Oliver settled him into a good spot, midfield one off the rails, before tracking up three wide with cover from the 1000m mark. He switched out passing the 600m, challenged at the home turn and raced clear from the 200m point and was eased down nearing the post to win by just over three lengths. Pelicano was second last in the 16-horse field before making ground between runners passing the 800m marker. He switched into the clear on straightening, where he was giving the leader about five lengths. He got to fourth at the 200m and kept making ground, getting up in time for second just in advance of Hurdy Gurdy Man, who had worked wide from his difficult barrier (16) to race outside the leader (Quick Shakes), took the leader turning for home and battled on well for a good third after his early efforts. *ANZ
