BALLARAT SYNTHETIC   26 Jun 2026
 
GOING: G

Brandt Maiden Plate 1400m

Track: Synthetic     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

From wide out Lucky Crimson can slide over and set up a genuine tempo. BOULDEROO (15) was well below his best last start at Swan Hill but had been coming along quite well prior with a narrow second at Echuca reading very well for this. First go on the synthetic but is capable of bouncing back. LIBBY ANN (8) has had plenty of chances as a 17-start maiden but is going okay, getting into third when last seen at Mt Gambier. She can figure in a winnable race. STELLETTA (11) resumes. She got over a bit more ground last time in but was thought highly enough to contest a pair of Tasmanian Listed races before a break and this won't take nearly as much winning. CREATIVE RIGHTEOUS (1) resumes for a new yard off a solid jumpout and could surprise. STORMRISER (14) is a rough hope back in trip. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boulderoo on top.
