Ballarat Race 1 - Ballarattrottingclub.com.au Mares Pace
PLATINUM JIVE NZ (10) finished sixth last start over 2100m at Geelong, beaten 4 metres, after a modest ninth at Cranbourne the run prior. Not drawn to best so may need a 10/10 drive. Meets a similar quality field and is good enough to put herself in the winners' stall. ASMILEANDAWINX (5) finished eighth last start, beaten 15 metres at Bendigo over 2150m. Has ability and should be right in the finish. CHOGI NZ (9) is also high on the list of contenders despite a tough draw. Best form measures up favourably in this line-up so just needs a bit of luck to go her way. WRITTEN IN SILK (3) is the best of the rest after finishing third over 1650m at Bendigo last time out.

Last start 3rd (Sr1) over 1710m at this track, at the bell was 7th-14.5 beaten 1.5 m by Viva Storm (2:03.50) in 0-4 WINS on May 22 at $4. Two runs back 7th (Fr4) over 1609m after showing early pace at Cranbourne beaten 9 m by Oceanique (1:58.20) in NR up to 49 on May 4 at $2.70. Not as keen on her chances in this field.
