Ballarat Race 6 - Hygain Edge Hcp (62)
VILLA CAPITALISTA (4) is a horse that's always appeared to have had talent but might have just taken some time putting it all together. Looked pretty good breaking the maiden last start and the confidence from that could carry him to another win, especially from this favourable draw. BUVELOT (3) is another coming off a maiden win and he couldn't have been more impressive at Pakenham. He's still only lightly raced and draws to get his chance to go on with it. CHEEKY CONTIKI (7) resumes after disappointing as favourite following a nice maiden win but recent jumpouts suggest he's come back well. UNOBSCURED (8) was well fancied when resuming at Sale but disappointed. Had jumped out well prior and was tested in some handy races last time, so it might pay to give her another go. STEAMY MIST (9) missed the frame when resuming last start over 1000m at Pakenham but wasn't all that far from the winner. Races well when second-up and can feature.

Resuming after a 12 weeks break. Not seen since winning by 0.8 len Kerang Mdn-Sw December 27 over 1100m defeating Monix with 59.5kg at $3.30. On debut third of 13 at Echuca Mdn-Sw November 4 over 1200m, soft track; a long neck behind Chateau Vega carrying 59.5kg at $7. Did little wrong in three-start debut prep and won a recent Bendigo jumpout, so can show up.

Third-up today. Resuming made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 13 at this track Mdn-Sw on February 14 over 1000m, long-neck behind Lonstar carrying 59.5kg at $4.20. Second run from a spell tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.0 len at Ararat Mdn-Sw March 3 over 1100m on a rain affected track defeating Fashion World carrying 59.5kg at $2.60. Nice win last start and strikes the right race to go on with it.

Has won previously first-up and resumes here after a break of four months. Finished off last campaign when last of 10 at this track 0 - 62 November 20 over 1200m, 9 len behind Altermatum carrying 57.5kg at $26. Previously first up; fourth of 12 at Bairnsdale Bm58 August 12 over 1000m, soft track; 2.25 len behind Don't Russia with 59.5kg at $8. Looks forward enough after a recent trial win. Nice recent trial win has him primed for a good return showing.

Back from a spell. Finished off last preparation eighth of 11 at Warrnambool Bm56 September 9 over 1000m, in the wet; 4 len behind Thunderanlightning carrying 61kg at $5.50. First up last campaign second of 13 at this track Mdn-Sw April 27 over 1100m, soft track; 2.75 len behind Grand Intention with 59.5kg at $9. Raced consistently last prep until out of maiden grade, when well-held, so happy to see how he returns.

Second-up. First-up after five months 5th of 7 at Sale F&M Bm62 on March 1 over 1112m, on a slow track; 9 len behind Juice Box with 59.5kg at $2.15. Previously second-up favourite; won by 0.8 len at Benalla 3yo F Mdn-Sw September 26 over 1206m defeating Bel Lupa with 57kg at $3.90. Terrible first-up as a warm favourite but blinkers on might spark a return to her best.

Second-up. First-up after six months got back early 6th of 9 at Pakenham Bm62 on February 26 over 1000m, 2.25 len behind Tiz Worthy carrying 57kg at $10. Previously second-up 9th of 11 at Bendigo Bm64 on August 14 over 1100m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Miss Cotoletta carrying 59kg at $6.50. Never a factor first-up but better for that and this looks a touch easier.

At the latest run sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 9 at Ararat Bm56 on March 3 over 1100m, on a slow track; 5 len behind Marty Mcfly with 56kg at $31. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 11 at Werribee 0 - 56 on February 17 over 1000m, 4.5 len behind Magnardo with 55.5kg at $15. Form in weaker grade not too bad, but might find this a bit rich.
