Ballarat Race 2 - Brandt Mdn Plate
FLATTERED (8) is a tricky one. She clearly brings the best form and profile here but is now a nine start maiden with seven minor placings to her name, beaten as a $1.24 chance at Kilmore last time out, and she was 3.5 lengths off the winner. She'll win one at some point. TUXEDO MISS (17) has been thereabouts in three runs this time in, only beaten two lengths at Sale last time out. Tricky draw but she can be positive and prove hard to beat. HAND CRAFTED (10) improved nicely second up at Moonee Valley when third and a repeat of that effort sees her right in the mix here. SHARING MOMENTS (12) stuck on well first time out at Kyneton and can be in this for a long way.

Three-year-old gelding (Exceedance - Simply Dreaming) will no doubt benefit from the three trials prior to his debut today. Was second in a Horsham barrier trial over 800m February 5. Should be ready to run well.

Third-up today. Resumes off a 40 day letup. First-up came home strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 9 at Moonee Valley 3yo Mdn-Sw on December 6 over 1200m, 2.5 len behind Princess Que carrying 56kg at $5.50. Second-up 2nd in a small field at Kilmore Mdn-Sw on January 14 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Seeyou Raider carrying 56kg at $1.24. Racing well. Rates very highly once more.
