Ballarat Synthetic Race 6 - Hygain Edge Hcp (C1)
Siding with SOMERSAULT (6) for the Begg yard who resumed with a smart maiden victory at Geelong on wet ground, coming away to score by 0.8 lengths in good time. She'd promised a bit last time in and looks set to go on with it this time around from an ideal draw. TOMMYESS (7) has just found one better in his past couple of starts, beaten a long neck over this route last time out in an encouraging effort. He can go one better with that experience. CALL ME MAURA (4) is a lightly raced filly who won her maiden comfortably as favourite here last time out, no reason she can't go on with it. ELECTRIC ELVIS (2) ran well fresh at Seymour behind a handy one in his first go for the new yard. He can strip fitter and take catching. ANGEL IN BLACK (3) won well fresh at Pakenham Synthetic and has claims for the double.

Recent form sound. Last start made ground from midfield; 2nd of 12 at this track Bm62 on June 21 over 1200m, long-neck behind Divine Thoughts with 58kg at $5. Before that rolled along in front before being edged out 2nd of 11 at Casterton 0 - 56 on June 7 over 1200m, on heavy track; 2.25 len behind Ambello with 60kg at $3.40. Went close last time. Will take plenty of beating again.

Second-up. First-up after seven months 9th of 11 at Echuca Bm56 on June 23 over 1200m, on a wet track; 7 len behind Blondie's Toronado with 57.5kg at $26. Previously second-up won by 3 len at Swan Hill Cg&E Mdn-Sw June 6 2025 over 1200m defeating Habitual with 59.5kg at $31. Doesn't look a major threat in this.
