BALLARAT SYNTHETIC   22 May 2025
 
GOING: N

Manhari Maiden Plate 1500m

Track: AW     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Just a modest tempo anticipated. WINNING TOAST (7) improved to lead on the bend and was beaten a nose at Bendigo first-up. He's jumped out well here since, and John Allen sticks from that. Strips fitter over this longer trip and is well placed to win MORTHAN EFFICIENT (4) resumes gelded and has jumped out positively at the track. He's been unlucky not to have broken through and maps for the run of the race. BARRELLING (1) is third-up and will appreciate the step-up in distance. Coffey goes back on, and he should be around the mark. DUN WONDERING (3) resumes gelded and has won a recent Ararat jumpout. He raced new on debut and will be naturally improved. Keep on side. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Winning Toast.
