Ballarat Race 12 - Two More Races To Go
UBIQUITOUS (3) impressed on both occasions winning in best times, 22.09 latest and 16.69 two back. In sparkling form and looks the one to beat again. BLACK XENA (2) has been out of the placings at her last couple of runs but impressed when clocking a dominant 23.84 over 425m at Bendigo three starts back. Must include on winning run three back. SMART AS ROSE (1) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame from Box 8 last run (22.64) at Shepparton. Is yet to taste defeat in two starts from this draw. Leading player again. INDY GRANT (4) has strong claims after a top-three finish last time out.

Improved two runs back to score then won again last start over 390m at this track (22.09), beating Sketchy Demos. Ran the fastest time on the program in that last win. Follow up.

Flew the lids with a sensational early split last time, hitting the frame with a 1.5 lengths third (23.98) at Bendigo and making it two placings on end. Hasn't been far away. Don't underestimate.

Could only manage fifth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when second (22.04) over 390m at this track. Tends to run fairly well off the tricky draw but will need a little luck to feature.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Geelong over 400m in 22.59. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fourth over 390m at Shepparton at Grade 5 level. Can't recommend him in this.

Missed the frame latest (25.63) when fifth over 435m at Sale in a Grade 5. Starts from box 8 for the first time here. Looks suited here and can measure up.
