Ballarat Race 5 - Sportsbet Final
SHOW CAUSE (1) was a last start winner this course and distance taking a Grade 5 H in 22.01 in one of the quickest times on the card and clocking a personal best as well. Rates a top chance again if runs up to latest. FORTUNE HUNTER (5) is on a hot streak recording a 21.92 win over 390m at this track last start following on from an excellent 22.50 success at this track over 400m the start prior. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. LAMIA NONNA MARY (3) is a fast beginner who has shown good improvement at her last two starts, most recently finishing 2nd at this track over 390m. Has never been out of the placings from two starts out of this box. Expecting another good run. ZIG ZAG KABOOM (2) missed the frame latest but ran an exceptional 19.18. One of the chances here.

Won her last two including a narrow win last start over 390m at this track by half a length in a Grade 5 H. Looks well placed to make it three straight.

Was a winner three back at Healesville then finished in the minors before missing the frame last time when fifth (19.18) at Healesville. Capable and may well bounce back this time.

Placed last time (22.06) at this track in a Grade 5 H, finishing second and beaten 0.8 lengths. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from two starts. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Was in the placings last time but prior to that was an impressive winner after leading throughout, scoring by 3.5 lengths in a Grade 4/5 at Horsham and clocking a brilliant 23.15 for the 410m trip. Will need to find best form.

Flew the lids with a slick early split last time and went on to clock 21.92 as a strongly fancied winner over 390m at this track. Looks well placed to make it three straight.

Hit the frame at this track last time when a 1.3 lengths third but did record an excellent 22.01 for the 390m trip. Place prospects appear best again.

Finished second last start (22.01) at big odds over 390m at this track. Jumps from a wide draw. One of the better hopes.

Recorded a 0.8 lengths win (22.03) in a Grade 5 H last time at this track. Yet to miss the frame from five starts from the draw, including three wins. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.
