Ballarat Race 5 - Manhari Hcp (C1)
An open race. AXIOM (7) has just missed his last couple with the most recent over 1415m at Sale. Come back a bit is trip but rates well and will finish hard. Ready to post his second win. BARRYFROM BRUNZWIK (2) resumed off a 557-day break with an on-pace Maiden win at Donald. Impressed here three back on debut and is sure to have come on. Shows promise and is a chance to repeat. BUZITUP (6) resumed an easy Maiden winner at Terang before finding one better at Stawell. Keeps improving and has winning claims. GISELLA (12) is much better than the recent efforts suggest. She ran her best race at this track narrowly beaten over 1400m in a 62, and she draws low and tumbles in weight. Winning rider Currie is reunited.

Second run back. First-up after about 18 months raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a neck at Donald Mdn-Sw April 14 over 1200m defeating Trouble'n Paradise with 59.5kg at $3.10. Previously second-up 8th of 10 at Moonee Valley 3yo Mdn-Sw on October 4 2024 over 1200m, 6 len behind Brandjam with 58kg at $19. Strips fitter and is sure to prove hard to beat.

Resumes from a spell. Finished off last campaign fifth of 8 at Cranbourne Bm64 May 2 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Mishare carrying 57.5kg at $4. At her first start won by 0.8 len Cranbourne F&M Mdn-Sw March 21 2025 over 1400m slow track defeating Rapido River carrying 57.5kg at $3.10. Prefer to see how she returns.

Most recently won by a long-neck at Warracknabeal Mdn-Sw April 4 over 1200m defeating Fashion World with 55kg at $8. The run before that 7th of 9 at Yarra Valley Mdn-Sw on March 15 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Divine Empress carrying 57kg at $3.20. This harder but may be worth keeping onside.
