HILLDALE SUNRISE (2) got the job done in emphatic style last start, leading from a few spots wider before drawing away to score by 24.5 metres at this circuit and distance. Can go forward again from this nice draw. Must rate highly off the last performance. SMART PLAY (1) has ground to make up on Hilldale Sunrise through last start but that was her second runner-up result in a row. Gave a good sight from this barrier two back. Should be involved again. JOHNNY REDCOAT (4) is in the mix following fourths from back row draws in his last two outings at Ballarat. DANCIN WITH ELVIS (5) must be considered after a close second at Echuca nine days ago.
