Ararat Race 4 - Harvey Norman Ararat (Bm58)
MARINA DI CAMPO (5) missed narrowly at Terang on debut and then led and blitzed the Ballarat Maidens by 3L over 1400m. That's good form, and she will be fitter again. Linda goes on and will use an inside barrier. DIAMOND WAR (4) won this grade at Werribee, and he's been nudged out at Terang the two since. He will push forward and is on a quick backup. He's worth another chance at a mile. SINISTER SAUCE (7) found more like her best placing here over this distance, and the inside gate should advantage. Has to be kept onside. HANDSOME DEVIL (3) was outgraded at Ballarat but won his Maiden well at Bendigo prior. Draws well and is in the mix.

Useful gelding. Last start second last of 10 at Ballarat Bm64 on March 7 over 1400m, 5 len behind Powerbound with 58.5kg at $26. The start before that won by a nose at Bendigo Mdn-Sw February 15 over 1300m defeating Miss Xtravaganza with 59.5kg at $3.30. Definitely worth including.

Form hard to fault. Most recently sat on the pace when 2nd of 10 at Terang Bm58 on March 21 over 1406m, 0.8 len behind Geffina with 60.5kg at $7. The run before that raced on the pace when 2nd of 13 at Terang Bm58 on February 28 over 1400m, long-neck behind Dark Harmony carrying 60.5kg at $18. Tough to beat.

Lining up for just third start. When well in the market at debut, sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 14 at Terang 3yo Mdn-Sw on February 14 over 1400m, 0.5 len behind Ultra Blue with 56kg at $4.60. Last start favourite; won by 3 len at Ballarat 3yo Mdn-Sw March 7 over 1400m defeating Mr Butt's Boats with 56kg at $1.90. Top chance.

Most recently second last in a small field at Moonee Valley Bm70 on March 7 over 3000m, 21 len behind Balinor carrying 52kg at $26. The start before that 6th of 9 at Moonee Valley F&M Bm70 on February 28 over 2040m, 3.5 len behind Expeetee carrying 52kg at $61. Should be thereabouts.
