BALLARAT SYNTHETIC   04 Aug 2025
 
GOING: N

Global Turf 4YO+ Maiden Plate 1100m

Track: Synthetic     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Genuine tempo from Aring leading French Love. HI TIAGO (8) is a two start maiden and has placed both times, over 1000m here at home. Looks close to a win and despite the tricky draw should feature again. MISSILE GIRL (10) is another close to getting off the mark. Has been runner-up last two, both on the Pakenham synthetic, where she has wound up strongly. Drawn for a soft run and will be tough to stop. FONDLED (5) is a four-year-old mare making a belated debut and trained on the course. By Puissance De Lune out of Amphlett. Recent jump-out winner and from a handy family. PLANET MARS (1) was disappointing last time but was runner-up the start prior. This suits and can atone. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hi Tiago gets chance.

Recent form sound. At the latest run came from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Pakenham Synthetic Mdn-Sw on July 14 over 1100m, 1.3 len behind Yeah Right carrying 56kg at $5. The start before that 2nd of 12 at Pakenham Synthetic F&M Mdn-Sw on June 30 over 1000m, 0.5 len behind Idleonby carrying 56.5kg at $11. Overdue and drawn to enjoy a cosy run from an inside alley.
