Ballarat Race 9 - Sportsbet (1-4 Wins) Ht1
BEAR THE BRUNT (6) is coming off a 2.5 lengths fourth but in a sharp 22.05 at this track over 390m. Hard to top on the time from last start. ISHIKAWA LASS (1) held her own to the line last start and filled a minor placing, beaten only 1.4 lengths (22.12) behind Spicy La Vida at Shepparton. Form from her last run is proving to be solid. Likely to be in the finish again. SILENT KNIGHT (3) was in the placings last time but shapes well for this on his enormous win the start prior, getting around this track over 390m in 22.13. Should be in this for a long way. ELITE ONE (2) boasts a solid strike-rate over this trip.

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three on end. Last start rocketed out of the boxes with a scorching early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when second (22.12) at Shepparton. Expected to go very well.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 390m in 22.13. Followed that up with a minor placing over 390m at Shepparton at Grade 5 nine days ago. Scored two on the trot prior to last start. Can return to winning form.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th on December 4 over 390m at this track behind Paw Quark beaten 2.5 lengths (22.05) in a Grade 5. Placed two back at Warragul. Capable of improvement on latest effort. Well placed and should feature.
