Ballarat Race 6 - Sportsbet Blackbook
ELEVATE (3) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (26.52) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 at Geelong. Has a good record here including three wins. Comes through a solid form race last start. Should bounce back. THAT'S MY COUSIN (2) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing sixth (26.18) in a Grade 5 H NP at this track. Form here sound including seven wins. Should be about the mark. HARD COMPASS (1) had been racing well prior to his last start sixth at Shepparton following a Grade 5 win three back with a third placing. Can hit the frame this time. CINDY CABANG (5) is worth some thought after placing in an impressive time last start.

Missed the frame last start when sixth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Looks a definite winning chance on best and given another chance.

Was out of placings last time (26.18) at this track in a Grade 5 H NP, finishing sixth and beaten 5.5 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and two places from seven starts. Looks a key chance on best form.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Healesville over 350m in 19.70. Followed that up with a minor placing over 460m at Geelong at Bottom Up - Grade 5 six days ago. Racing well and can find winning form again.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (26.10) over 450m at Shepparton. Wide draw here. Must be included.
