Ballarat   10 Mar 2026
 
GOING: G(4)

Global Turf Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 27)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.54)  

Not a great deal of pace on paper so it may be left to one of the debutants to roll to the front. Lottery if the favourite HARRY MET SALLY (3) doesn't run up to par. The very well named Yes Yes Yes gelding has had a few starts and shows ability, the latest finishing fourth in the Listed Festival Stakes down the straight at Flemington behind Gin Twist. Coming well back in grade and with the race experience on the others should go close. KUNG FU PANDA (7) is a daughter of I Am Immortal out of Panda's Turn having her first start. Progressed nicely to take out her most recent trial with today's rider Daniel Stackhouse steering. Bold showing expected. SILENT DEVOTION (8) is on debut for the Henry Dwyer stable. Two-year-old filly by Pinatubo from Soft Sand. Can measure up. Betting crucial. KING'S ADDRESS (4) is a two-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Ciaron Maher. By Toronado from Commanding Jewel. Comes here off a Cranbourne trial placing. Worth watching for a betting push. MASTER DUBOIS (5) is a colt by The Autumn Sun out of Couronne. Fitter for three jump-outs. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stay with Harry Met Sally but watch betting closely.
