Ballarat Race 2 - Sportsbet Blackbook
PETE RENNIE (7) comes off a moderate effort last start, finishing fifth at Bendigo over 425m behind Extra Sharp (25.12). The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Has claims if he runs up to expectations. BLAME MARGARET (1) stalked the lead and fought on well to finish 5.5 lengths away in second (22.84) at this track in a Maiden over 390m. Hard to beat again. PAW XELA (4) produced a moderate run last time when fourth at Sale over 435m behind Dr. Aurora (25.07). Will give the top chances plenty to think about. INFATUATED (2) is worth including.

Ran a better race when second behind Wizzin' By at this track last start over 390m (22.84). Gets back so might need a bit of luck.

Yet to break through in nine starts, the latest result a fifth (25.12) over 425m at Bendigo. Returns to a favoured course. Should go very well.
