Ballarat Race 1 - Sportsbet Blackbook (250+Rank)
ZARI DESIREE (2) boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten half a length (22.66) behind Darkest Colour at this track. Can find winning form. CORNHILL SCOUT (5) crossed over from out wide last start before finishing second (24.87) at Bendigo in a Bottom Up - Maiden over 425m. Deserves a win and gets his chance. PAW WYLDER (8) comes off an average effort last start when sixth at this track over 390m behind Kopacki Rit (23.39) in a Maiden. Key runner who gets his chance to atone.

Was lining up for just the second time last start when she finished seventh over 400m at Geelong. Needs to find a bit more to test these.

Two runs so far have been ordinary, the latest when beaten 16 lengths into sixth over 400m at Geelong. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.

Yet to break through after five starts, the most recent result a sixth (23.39) over 390m at this track. Best form too good to ignore.
