Ballarat Race 8 - Life Members Trophy (250+Rank) Ht4
BLANKET GAME (1) missed the frame latest (30.75) when sixth over 525m at The Meadows in a Grade 5 H. Already a winner from this draw. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. BLACK TYCOON (8) missed the frame last time when fourth (25.80) at Shepparton but prior to that had four placings in a row. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings four times from five attempts. Must be included in calculations. CORNHILL HUSTLER (4) is in form and must include among the chances.

Won two starts back over 450m at Warrnambool. Last start he finished 6th over 525m at The Meadows beaten 5.5 lengths (30.75) behind Tony in a Grade 5 H on February 18. Draw likely to suit. Capable of a strong show.

Got back last start and could only manage eighth but before that won easily by 4.5 lengths at this track (22.12) beating Ice Sculptress in a Grade 5 on February 16. Failed to threaten last start and looks tested again.

Good effort to win last start by 1.3 lengths over 425m at Bendigo in a handy (24.26), beating Lainey Jane. Will find this a bit tougher, solid win last time out but this looks tough.

Was out of placings last time (25.80) at Shepparton in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 5.5 lengths. Yet to win but has placed four times from this draw. Looks suited and should go close.
