Ballarat Race 6 - 7+ Concession Drivers Trot (Ratings Exempt)

THE FIERY SUNSET (7) has returned to racing in good order, scoring a fresh win from the back row when resuming at Geelong then coming from this barrier for third in a higher-graded race last week. Should be reaching peak fitness and looks up to winning this. CHAMPAGNES (6) has worked her way back into winning form, leading to score by more than 9m at Maryborough last time. Draws wider but has the speed to get across into a prominent position so could strike again. This looks a tougher task for BROWN EYED KATE (5) but she is hard to knock after winning her last three outings. LOVE WHO (2) worked when placed two back at this venue and should get the favours from this draw. ITGETSBETTER (4) made it three placings in a row when third behind BROWN EYED KATE last start. Can feature again.

Registered three wins at her last three starts. Last start raced just off the speed and boxed on; won by 1.0 m (Sr1) at Mt Gambier (2:51.80) beating Lady Suspicious in on June 30 at $17 at the bell was 2nd-4.4. Hard to leave out on current form. Must respect winning form.
