Ballarat Race 7 - Sportsbet Fast Form (Bm70)
PETIT ARTISTE (7) resumes. She didn't win last time in but ran in some strong races, fourth in a good 2yo race fresh last time in before running second to speedy filly Esha. She's largely contested stakes races and looks well placed in this. NIMBUSTWOTHOUSAND (3) was okay first up at Cranbourne over 955m, just beaten for speed there. He'll be better over further again but has the ability to be finishing over the top. NOT SURPRISED (8) resumes. She won her only start last campaign and is open to further improvement at just her fifth start. ETERNAL DARKNESS (5) bounced back last start following a disappointing run at Caulfield two back. Maps nicely and can go one better without surprising.

Comes here off a 53-day let-up. Most recently ran last of 9 at Warrnambool Bm70 on December 31 over 1200m, 5 len behind Arcandam carrying 59kg at $31. Before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 7 at Murray Bridge Cg&E Bm68 on December 20 over 1200m, 2.75 len behind Arcandam with 61kg at $31. Risking.

Second run back. First-up after five months got back early 5th of 7 at Cranbourne Bm78 on February 6 over 955m, 1.0 len behind Port Albert carrying 56kg at $3.90. Previously second-up ran on from midfield and won by a long-neck at Werribee 3yo Mdn-Sw May 16 over 1110m defeating Anecdotal carrying 58kg at $1.24. Better for that and will take beating.
