Ballarat Race 6 - Lil Dickie Oaks
SHARAPOVA STAR (7) shapes well for this after winning last start over the 525m at The Meadows in a superb 29.96. In form and can measure up again. SPRITELY SIAN (8) ran below best last time finishing seventh (30.28) over 515m at Sandown in a Grade 5. Should be thereabouts. HONEY ZEN (1) racing well without winning, placing at her last four runs. Last time finished 3rd in a Grade 5 on December 28 over 525m at The Meadows behind Fernando Duke beaten 5.5 lengths (30.49). The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. MEPUNGA SCARLETT (2) is new here but can play a major role.

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors four starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (30.49) at The Meadows over 525m. Solid formlines coming through that last run. Looks a major player.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at The Meadows over 525m in 29.91. Followed that up with a minor placing over 515m at Sandown at Grade 5 six days ago. This appears within her reach.

Finished fourth last start at Warrnambool but prior to that had been racing consistently. Tough draw to overcome and needs to bounce back.
