Ballarat Race 7 - Sportsbet Race Previews (Bm66)
Tricky little race. CARRIEDO (8) did some nice things in her maiden campaign, winning two races in a row including a dominant win in town. That saw her start $2.80 against Concord Connie at Flemington where clearly not running her race. First up now she should go well. SULEK (4) resumes. He also brings Concord Connie form having also placed in the Listed Bendigo Guineas last campaign as well. 1200m is on the sharp side but he's got the class to figure. AURORA BELLE (6) resumes for the Hayes yard over from New Zealand, unbeaten in two starts. They haven't been dominant wins but she clearly has scope and must respect here. BALANCE (11) won narrowly fresh at short odds and can go on with it. IMPERIAL AWARD (3) is unbeaten in two starts and has claims again.

Resumes after a break of four-and-a-half months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last preparation sixth of 11 at Flemington 3yo Hcp May 16 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind Concord Connie with 56.5kg at $13. When resuming last campaign fourth in a small field at Pakenham 3yo Bm64 April 16 over 1200m, on heavy track; 4 len behind Purple Streak with 61.5kg at $3. Better over a touch further but will take holding out.

Looking to keep her unbeaten record intact. Last appeared favourite; won by 0.9 len in a 3-Y-O Plte at Te Rapa on July 4 over 1200m on a heavy track defeating Swiss Prince carrying 55kg at $3. Wary at local debut as she's done nothing wrong to date.

Second run back. Comes off a 42-day let-up. First-up after two months raced behind the speed prior to fading ran second last of 9 in a Cg&E Bm70 at Sandown-Lakeside on August 19 over 1200m, on a slow track; 5.5 len behind Queen Christine with 57.5kg at $41. Previously second-up 6th of 13 in a Bm66 at Sandown-Lakeside on December 26 over 1200m, 2.25 len behind Mercurial Lady carrying 56.5kg at $11. Second up record is strong but others are going much better.
