Ballarat Race 10 - Sportsbet Blackbook
MADDIE ODD SOCK (2) has a strong record here with four wins and three placings from 11 starts. Missed the frame latest (26.01) when seventh over 450m at Shepparton in a Grade 5. Makes strong appeal on best. ASTON JOPLIN (8) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing fourth (23.50) in a Grade 5 at Geelong. Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to her name from four starts. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. VALLETTA PEARL (7) finds it hard to break through. Finished second (24.52) at Bendigo last time making it three minors on end. Form here sound including two wins. Deserves a win and gets her chance. MAJOR ORSON (1) form at this course and distance reads well.

Goes well at this track and trip. Most recent effort finished 5th on March 3 over 460m at Geelong behind Dad's Surprise beaten 4 lengths (26.40) in a Grade 5. Capable of taking this out.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fifth last time out over 400m at Geelong. Prepared to risk.

Has been in the money at last three starts, the latest when second (24.52) at Bendigo. Jumps from the outside. Cannot be ruled out.
