Ballarat Race 6 - Natures Cargo Vicbred Voucher Concession Drivers Trot

BETSY ANNE (2) was in the money at this track two runs ago before finishing third at her latest appearance over 2200m at Horsham, beaten 30 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meeting a deeper field this time but she is up to the challenge. I AM SKYE CHIOLA (7) maintained the recent momentum last time out when she scored over 2180m at Stawell, getting home by 5 metres after leading. Must overcome a very wide draw. Meeting a deeper field this time but she has the ability to mix it with them. CHAMPAGNES (6) is one of the main contenders after winning her past three starts, the latest at this track a week ago. Difficult to ignore that sort of form. ITGETSBETTER (3) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound fourth at this track over 1710m.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Champagnes at this track over 1710m on July 23 at $23. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third stood flat footed, behind Allawart Bob at Horsham over 2200m on July 27 at $2.80. Great chance to score an overdue win.

Last start 4th (Fr3) over 1710m after showing early speed at this track was 5th-10.73 at the bell, beaten 19 m by Champagnes (2:07.50) on July 23 at $7. Before that, a game effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr3) over 2190m at Mt Gambier, at the bell was 3rd-9.8 beaten 5 m by Brown Eyed Kate (2:51.80) on June 30 at $7. Capable of going a lot better.

Registered three wins at her last three starts. Last start tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; posted a big 5 m win after showing early speed, (Fr2) at this track (2:07.70) beating No Telling Heather in M on July 29 at $3.90 at the bell was 3rd-3.88. Hard to leave out on current form. Should be there at the business end.
