Ballarat Race 6 - Evergreen Turf (Bm62)
ARABELLA STAR (1) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1000m at Sandown-Hillside, beaten 3.5 lengths. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. DIHHERI (5) is a handy type who resumes after a break of six months, which followed a poor run at Pakenham that was too bad to be true. Fitter for a recent trial win and has to be included. DIRTY DIANA (9) has been in the money at her last couple of runs, the latest when third over 1000m at Moe. Rises in grade here, but racing more consistently than most and can feature. DO IT NOW (2) is progressing well this preparation, landing the prize by half a length last time out over 1000m at Tatura. Solid top-three prospects again now she is back in winning form. HEIDI DANCER (4) is one of the more lightly-raced horses in the field and was never a factor first-up, but was a reliable commodity in the campaign prior so might be worth another chance.

Second run back. First-up after eight months ran second last of 8 in a F&M Bm70 at Sandown-Hillside on September 9 over 1000m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Gina's A Star carrying 58kg at $14. Previously second-up won by 0.5 len in a 3yo Mdn-Sw at Kilmore on November 23 over 1100m on a soft track defeating Taupe with 56kg at $9. Beautifully placed, draws well and in nicely after the claim.

Returns from a 39-day let-up. At the latest run 10th of 12 in a Bm56 at Ballarat Synthetic on August 31 over 1400m, 7 len behind Royal Infantry carrying 62kg at $6.50. The run before that raced on the pace before fading 10th of 12 in a Bm56 at Ballarat Synthetic on August 18 over 1500m, 5.5 len behind Weather Delay with 59kg at $6. Happy enough to avoid.

Mare back from a spell of six months. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last campaign when last in a small field at Pakenham Bm62 April 16 over 1400m, on rain affected going; 21 len behind Shidan with 57.5kg at $5.50. When resuming last campaign second last in a small field at Pakenham Bm62 March 26 over 1200m, soft track; 6 len behind Blue Bandit carrying 57.5kg at $1.70. Looks forward enough after a recent trial win. Expecting her to hit the ground running this campaign

Form hard to fault. Most recently 3rd of 9 in a Bm56 at Moe on September 24 over 1000m, 0.5 len behind Marilyn's Edge with 59.5kg at $4.40.

Returns from a 38-day let-up. Most recently 2nd of 8 in a Bm56 at Wodonga on September 1 over 1100m, on a slow track; 0.8 len behind Sheanadh with 59.5kg at $2.45. The start before that sat on the pace before fading 7th of 10 in a Bm62 at Geelong on August 14 over 1225m, in the wet; 2.75 len behind Fly By Light with 57kg at $9. Will find this assignment a little tougher but should be competitive.
