Ballarat Synthetic Race 5 - Hygain Edge (Bm56)
Tough. NOBLE STYLE (4) is up and running and comes back a notch in grade from a last start sixth at Murtoa when in the market. Form prior at Pakenham Synthetic reads well for this and she'll kick up from the inside gate. ANTALIAN (1) is back from a spell after closing last campaign with a couple of wins, the latest over 1457m at Kilmore on March 31. John Allen is booked to ride again and she can pick up where she left off. CHILLCUZ (2) hasn't made an impression since resuming despite market confidence, well beaten at Murray Bridge last start. She's better than that and could improve. HIDDEN WITNESS (6) is first up for this. She's only won 1 from 17 but is fairly consistent and can figure this level.

Second-up. Comes off a 60-day let-up. First-up after five months got back early 8th of 10 in a F&M Bm56 at this track on June 26 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Magnardo carrying 54kg at $101. Previously second-up ran last of 9 in a F&M Mdn-Sw at Mornington on November 10 over 1200m, slow going 15 len behind Ravens Bay with 58kg at $91. Looks a fair way off peak form so others are preferred.
