BALLARAT SYNTHETIC   05 Jul 2024
 
GOING: N

Global Turf Maiden Plate 2100m

Track: SYNTHETIC     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Genuine tempo early with Bo Cougar, Vancouver Rain and Rich Champagne taking up forward positions. RICH CHAMPAGNE (6) has had a few chances but does look to have found the right race here, coming off a solid second placing at Echuca when attempting to lead all the way, only going down by 0.8 lengths. He'll roll forward and take plenty of catching. LEMBEH (9) appreciated the step up to this track and distance last start when running on well into third. Open to further improvement and should go close. BO COUGAR (8) hasn't been all that far away of late and the step up in trip should suit. AVENUES (3) is a 4yo gelding by Reset on debut. His jumpouts have just been fair but this isn't a strong race. Watch the market. AKI (1) is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rich Champagne to win.
