BALLARAT SYNTHETIC   25 Jun 2024
 
GOING: N

Global Turf Maiden Plate 1000m

Track: AW     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

No recognised leader which leaves it to Attaboom and Rebel Rafa to set the tempo. EXTREMELY WICKED (5) is showing promise and though she has yet to win she has been placed in 5 of her 7 starts to date, including her last run at Cranbourne a month ago when finishing third fresh up. She is having her first run for the inform Gavin Bedggood stable and with the benefit of a 2-kilo claim, she will be hard to hold out. EJECT (7) made his debut in Stakes company and then just battled on at Moonee Valley at his next run before going for a spell. He returns as a gelding at a much easier level and can't be ruled out of winning this fresh-up. ATTABOOM (1) seems to be at his best on polytracks and was runner-up here a week ago. He won't have to improve by much to be winning this. WHITSON (8) ran a last start fourth at Swan Hill and can contest today. SUGGESTED PLAY: Extremely Wicked to win.
