Ballarat Race 6 - Palmerbet Trot

EL TORNADO (3) did a good job to miss narrowly two starts ago then registered a comfortable win last time out, scoring by 5.6 metres at Melton. No excuses from this advantageous draw so can make it two on the bounce. CONSTANT (6) comes off a strong performance last start when she scored by 6 metres at Kilmore. Draws a little wider but is a big chance again with even luck. WHISKEY DAWN (7) broke and finished a distant fourth last start but wasn't too far off placegetters in the previous two outings so may be worth another chance. WHY NOW (2) won the maiden here two back and was good again when third at Geelong last time. Draws the inside and has some upside.
