Ballarat   28 Apr 2024
 
GOING: G

Veolia 3YO Maiden Plate 1500m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 17)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.77).  

Pace expected to be on from the outset with From The Basement and Tietar going forward. THE JESTER'S SON (7) has been to the races on five occasions and has finished in the money each time. Deserving of a breakthrough win and gets that chance here. TIETAR (14) was just touched out in maiden grade at Seymour before finding the company far too strong before a break. Is much better off here and can return with a winning run. HARD TO GO WRONG (4) made up plenty of ground on debut at Avoca. Bigger track here will be an advantage. Has to be considered. SUGGESTED PLAY: Back The Jester's Son and Tietar to win.
