Ballarat Race 4 - Sportsbet Blackbook

EGO BALE (3) has been in the money at her last two runs, most recently when second beaten 7 lengths (22.59). Goes well here including a win and two minors. The form from her last run stacks up well. Good form should continue. MY LITTLE IVY (2) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (22.95) last time in a T3 RSTW at this track. Warrants plenty of respect. SOLAR ECLIPSE (1) is better than last start when fourth (26.10) from Box 6 at this track over 450m. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. TRENTON'S CREED (5) placed last time and cannot be ignored.
