Ballarat Race 3 - Harvey Norman Ballarat Mdn Plate
MISS DIVIDEND (10) showed good early speed last start on debut and fought on well to hold second, beaten 2.25 lengths, over 1000m at Bendigo. Likely improver who is expected to be in the finish. EXPLOSIVE MAGIC (6) finished sixth when resuming two runs back then did a good job last start but found one better over 975m at Swan Hill, beaten only 0.8 lengths. Must raise the bar but another big run will not surprise. HOWCANI RESISTYOU (8) returns after five months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a 10th over 1200m in the G3 David Coles Stakes at Morphettville. This a sharp drop back in grade and looks ready to run following a minor placing in a recent Caulfield trial. RUBY GUILD (11) settled well back from a wide draw last time then wound up strongly to finish fifth over 1100m at Caulfield Heath. Must be included. GIRTON (7) is debut, but boast impressive bloodlines, and recent trial efforts suggest she's up to playing a role here.

Filly by Written Tycoon on debut. Fitter for a jump-out on September 28 at Cranbourne when finished fifth. Two jumpouts this time in OK, but did win one last prep, so keen an eye on the market.

Filly by Hanseatic facing the starter for the first time. Ran 3rd in a Caulfield Heath trial over 1000m on October 1. Well-bred filly whose jumpouts have been good enough to suggest a strong debut likely.
