Ballarat Race 7 - Great Chase (1-5 Wins) Ht7
COBBLE HILL (4) has a terrific record this trip with two wins and one placing from three starts. Recorded a 5 length win (29.76) in a Grade 5 last time at Sandown. Looks a key chance on best form. YALE TURN (1) jumped quickly from box three to score (25.77) two back then drew the same last time but settled off pace and could manage only a 14 length 6th at The Meadows (31.12). Solid formlines coming through his last run. Worth following up. KISS FOR CASH (5) was drawn the middle last start but pinged the lids and recorded an all-the-way win (30.33) at The Meadows in a Restricted WIN over 525m. Will go close again if runs up to latest. PURE SILK (7) cannot be left out over a shorter distance.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 450m. Last start finished last in a Mix 6/7 on September 19 over 525m at The Meadows behind King Of Chaos beaten 14 lengths (31.12). Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Missed the frame last start when a 4.5 lengths sixth (28.65) at Bendigo. Previous form sound including a win three back at Horsham. Looks a danger to the top few if returns to best form this time.

Backs up after winning by 0.8 lengths at The Meadows (30.31) beating Handsome Ratio in a Grade 5 on September 26 four days ago. Likely to find this a lot tougher and he needs to find another gear.
