BALLARAT SYNTHETIC   18 Jun 2024
 
GOING: N

Global Turf Maiden Plate 1100m

Track: SYNTHETIC     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Expecting Sheeza Tomcat to find the lead but there will be some pressure. Freedman-trained LEEONARDO (3) resumes and finally draws an inside barrier. Pulled up with an issue last time but was building nicely prior. He will be naturally improved and Ben Allen is a positive jockey booking. MAGIC MADONNA (7) resumes and didn't come up at her only start last preparation. Her form prior reads well including a close-up placing at Sandown-Hillside on debut. Has a handy barrier and a much-improved effort is anticipated. The local ATTABOOM (1) peaks and has been within range this preparation on the synthetic. He's on a 4-day return and rates well enough. Can't be ruled out back on the turf. SHEEZA TOMCAT (10) resumes and is better than the form line suggests. No surprise to see her go well. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Leeonardo.
