Ballarat Race 1 - Brandt Mdn Plate
BRAZEN DIVA (2) should be kicking off the day for favourite punters on the right note after a last start third at Kyneton just over 6 weeks ago. She has plenty of natural pace and back over 1000m, she can take them all the way. BAZABALL REWARDED (1) probably could have finished closer when third at Pakenham nearly a fortnight ago. She can secure a run to suit from the pole position, and if the gaps come at the right time, she can have the last say. CINCINCITY (3) was put aside after running third on debut in the spring at Kyneton. She was close up in a recent trial and will be ready to rumble in this. Can win. COCO POP (4) has stuck to her task gamely over 1200m in both of her starts back from a spell and could well be better over 1000m. She will be peaking third up and has the blinkers on for the first time. Don't underestimate her. SWEET CITY DANCER (8) resumed from a freshen up at Bendigo 15 days ago and needed the run. She strips fitter and has each-way claims this time.

Going well. Most recently 3rd of 9 at Pakenham 3yo Mdn-Sw on March 20 over 1000m, 1.3 len behind Steamy Mist carrying 57kg at $10. Before that gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 12 at Terang Mdn-Sw on February 28 over 1200m, head behind Barbie'sdreamworld with 57kg at $3.80. Well placed and should be in the finish.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 43-day let-up. Most recently rolled along in front before being edged out 3rd of 8 at Kyneton 3yo Mdn-Sw on February 18 over 1115m, 1.75 len behind Albertville with 56kg at $3.10. The race before that set the pace for much of the race 2nd in a small field at Werribee 3yo F Mdn-Sw on January 31 over 1100m, on a slow track; 0.5 len behind Duty Calls with 57kg at $5. Another big run is on the cards.

Resuming after a break; only one run when held ground to the line 3rd of 9 at Kyneton F&M Mdn-Sw on November 18 over 1112m, 4 len behind Playlist with 56.5kg at $10. Capable of a bold return.

Third-up today. Resuming 5th of 11 at Pakenham 3yo Mdn-Sw on February 27 over 1000m, 4.5 len behind Regal Tycoon carrying 56kg at $15. Second run from a spell 5th of 9 at Cranbourne 3yo Mdn-Sw on March 14 over 1200m, 4 len behind Misty Emotions carrying 56kg at $17. Shows promise. Best form stacks up nicely so worth another chance.

Second-up sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 12 at Edenhope Mdn-Sw on March 8 over 1200m, on a slow track; 1.3 len behind Erminia carrying 57kg at $8. Might find this too hard.

Resuming after a lengthy spell. Only one run when raced on the pace before fading to run last of 7 at Mornington 3yo F Mdn-Sw on October 10 over 1200m, 24 len behind Certain Rise with 57kg at $26. Will improve on whatever she does in this.
