AU - Balaklava - Race 2

SAYERSITISN'TSO (3) made the perfect return last start when driving hard to score by a neck at Strathalbyn. Blinkers go on to sharpen him up and with added fitness he can make it two on the bounce. SAFE BET (2) finds it hard to land his second winning blow but it certainly hasn't been without trying. Was well below his best last time in town when tiring quickly in the lane after leading them up. Has been freshened with 60 days, kept up to the mark by a pair of trials. The 4lbs claim helps under the big weight and if he's back somewhere near his best he'll be very competitive. IMPACT STORM (1) returns and has been readied with two jumpouts. Was a good maiden winner before the break and with natural improvement he can give this a big shake. BELLE FROM HELL (7) often leaves herself with too much to do but can cause some grief late if they roll along early. I AM RALPH (5) strips fitter third-up and comes through two solid form races. Keeping safe in minors.
