Ballarat Race 12 - Two More Races To Go

RELAX MATE (1) has missed the frame at his last couple but wasn't beaten far three back when second (22.44) at Warrnambool in a Free For All. Can turn form around here. MYSTIC CONTESSA (8) has a strong winning strike-rate over this track and trip with two wins and a placing from four tries. Placed last time (24.22) at Bendigo in a Rank Limit - Grade 5, finishing second and beaten 6 lengths. Looks a key chance on best figures. MADAM SERIOUS (6) has an excellent record over this course and distance having never missed the placings in three starts, including two wins. Below best last time at Geelong (26.60) in a Grade 5, finishing a 10 length sixth. Can feature in the finish. AUSSIE WAGYU (2) can feature with the right run.

Was out of placings last time (22.81) at Geelong in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 5 lengths. Has never missed the frame from three starts from the draw, including a win. Makes strong appeal.

Could only manage fifth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when second (23.45) over 410m at Horsham. Looks safely held.
