BALLARAT SYNTHETIC   13 Jun 2025
 
GOING: N

Global Turf Maiden Plate 1000m

Track: AW     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Expecting a strong gallop with Night Flash and Evil Lover taking up the running over More Give It. NIGHT FLASH (11) looks well placed second up off a nice return at Cranbourne when sticking on for third in what looks a stronger maiden. Second up last campaign he was tested and hardly disgraced in the Geelong Diamond. Should take plenty of catching here. NEXT STEP IOWA (8) is a filly by Brazen Beau on debut for the Matt Laurie yard who has been jumping out fairly for her first outing. Must respect a good stable, watch the betting. EVIL LOVER (4) resumes having been racing fairly well last time in. Sets up nicely from the good gate and can figure. GAMADALE CURLY (5) was much better at Swan Hill last time and could sneak into the minors again at big odds. SUGGESTED PLAY: Night Flash to win.
