Balaklava Race 2 - Bettabuilt Green Hcp (C1)
SAYERSITISN'TSO (3) made the perfect return last start when driving hard to score by a neck at Strathalbyn. Blinkers go on to sharpen him up and with added fitness he can make it two on the bounce. SAFE BET (2) finds it hard to land his second winning blow but it certainly hasn't been without trying. Was well below his best last time in town when tiring quickly in the lane after leading them up. Has been freshened with 60 days, kept up to the mark by a pair of trials. The 2kg claim helps under the big weight and if he's back somewhere near his best he'll be very competitive. IMPACT STORM (1) returns and has been readied with two jumpouts. Was a good maiden winner before the break and with natural improvement he can give this a big shake. BELLE FROM HELL (7) often leaves herself with too much to do but can cause some grief late if they roll along early. I AM RALPH (5) strips fitter third-up and comes through two solid form races. Keeping safe in minors.

Comes here off a 60-day let-up. At the latest run struggled in the run home; second last of 12 at Morphettville Parks 0-62 on March 21 over 1550m, 8 len behind Bargain Boy with 56.5kg at $4.80. The race before that crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 2nd of 11 at Morphettville Bm64 on March 9 over 1600m, 0.9 len behind Brown Nose Day Gal with 54.5kg at $4.40. Best form stacks up nicely and deserves another chance.
