Ballarat Race 6 - Hygain Winners Choice (Bm64)
GIN BABA (8) is racing in consistently strong form, winning two of her past three and running second in the other. Came clear late for a narrow win at Bendigo last time out and finds another suitable race here. Can lob in front from the inside gate and take plenty of catching. THATS ARCHIES GIRL (7) has won both starts this time in, backing up a maiden win with a narrow BM58 win at Sale. On the up and has to be respected again. STARCHIENNE (3) is a 7yo mare who ran a good race first up at Seymour, beaten a nose. She's lightly raced now with the Sutton yard and can improve on that. DELIVERING (5) presents third up and ready to fire from a good draw. ARCANDAM (6) struggled last time but is very lightly raced and can improve.
