Ballarat Race 2 - Sportsbet Blackbook
MIGHTY MISS (3) hit the frame latest (24.01) when second at Bendigo in a Mix 6/7. Has already won out of this draw. Looks a key chance on best form. WEBLEC POPPY (2) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing fourth (22.72) in a Rank Limit - Restricted Win at this track. One of the better hopes. HEATHCOTE RUPEE (1) turned in a plain performance last time when fifth at Shepparton over 390m behind Ripped Paige (22.86) in a Mix 6/7. Was a winner prior to that. Better than last start and can bounce back. ASTON PLUTO (6) can play a role in the finish without surprising.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Healesville over 350m. Last start finished 5th in a Mix 6/7 on January 19 over 390m at Shepparton behind Ripped Paige beaten 11 lengths (22.86). Rates highly and looks tough to beat.

Hit the ground running last time with a strong early split and tried to lead throughout but had to settle for the minors when second (24.01) at Bendigo over 425m. Boxed on well to finish runner-up last time. Leading player.

Didn't make the placings last time at Warragul (23.22) in a Mix 6/7, finishing a 10 length fourth. Has three placings from five starts from the draw. Can feature with the right run.
