Ballarat Race 4 - Manhari (Bm56)
The BM56 from Hanging Rock on Australia Day looks the key form reference here. HI TIAGO won it, but it was hard to fault the run of MARTY MCFLY (1), who didn't seem to appreciate racing in behind the leaders and did not get out until too late. Finished off stylishly once into the clear to run HI TIAGO to 1.25 lengths and while given no favours at the barrier draw, the bigger track here might suit. HI TIAGO (4) looks a key player again, though, and the engagement of a claimer means she meets Marty McFly at level weights for the last start meeting and she'll again put himself in a prominent position. FIGHTTHEGOODFIGHT (9) comes through the same race and wasn't beaten far in fourth spot, but she was only first-up that day so will have improvement to come. DRY FIRE (6) brings different form and beaten less than a length his past two, which he only needs to hold to be a force. EL SALTO (3) ran his worst race in ages last start, so give another chance.

Most recently ran on from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Hanging Rock Bm56 on January 26 over 1000m, 1.3 len behind Hi Tiago with 61.5kg at $4.40. Before that 5th of 12 at Kyneton Bm62 on December 11 over 1103m, 4 len behind Viasain carrying 60kg at $14. Didn't have the best of luck last start and better suited this track, despite the wide gate.

Returns from a 54-day let-up. At the latest run 12th of 14 at Wangaratta Bm56 on December 22 over 1000m, on a slow track; 7 len behind Fourthtimelucky with 60kg at $13. The run before that 2nd of 12 at Tatura Bm56 on December 14 over 1000m, head behind Dapper Don carrying 62kg at $7. Disappointing last start but this is easier and previous form good.

Having second run back today. Last start second last of 7 at Werribee Bm56 on January 12 over 1014m, 4 len behind Frose with 59.5kg at $5.50. At only start last preparation failed to make an impression; second last of 8 at Murray Bridge 2yo Bm66 on July 12 over 1000m, slow going 7 len behind Ferivia with 58.5kg at $9.50. Disappointed last start when in the market, so might pay to give another chance because previous jumpouts were tidy.

Resuming. Finished off last preparation second of 12 at Casterton 0 - 58 August 31 over 1200m, soft track; 2.5 len behind The Mariner carrying 57kg at $4.20. Previous preparation first-up won by 1.3 len Hamilton Mdn-Sw May 29 over 1100m slow track defeating Think Baby with 56kg at $1.65. Might be better off following this outing.
