Ballarat Race 3 - Sportsbet Ht2
SO SO GOOD (8) is long overdue for a win and in super consistent form, jumping from this box to place last time at Bendigo (23.94), making it three straight minors. Has the ability and looks hard to top. PAW ZHANA (7) was narrowly beaten when placing two back but missed the frame latest finishing fourth (25.61) in a Maiden at Shepparton. Well placed here and can atone this time. CHAPPY'S HIKARI (6) has a solid record despite not breaking through for a win in 14 starts. Finished fifth (31.24) at The Meadows latest but tends to run well here despite having never won. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Likely to play a prominent role. CHOW MEIN (2) is by Koblenz out of Midda's Missile making debut. Drawn favourably and can capitalise. Can sneak into the frame with the right run.

Yet to break through after 14 starts, the most recent result a fifth (31.24) over 525m at The Meadows. Rarely out of the placings off this draw. Best form too good to ignore.

Resumes from a 12 weeks spell and was in the minors at only other fresh up run, finishing second over 425m at Bendigo. Deserves a win and gets his chance.
