Ballarat Race 6 - Hygain Winners Choice (Bm64)
GRID GIRL (4) has been close up in a pair of messy finishes this time in which can be tricky to gauge. On her day she's certainly up to winning this and she draws for every chance. VARANE (2) was no match for an easy winner fresh at Warrnambool but stuck on well for second and should improve out to 1400m. He's a consistent type who should be right there. LONGTIMEDREAMING (5) wasn't that far off the mark at Bendigo last start and should be right at his peak third up. Gets in well after the claim and has to be included along with CAPE DOCTOR (6) who can run a race fresh.
