BALLARAT SYNTHETIC   11 Jun 2025
 
GOING: N

Manhari Maiden Plate 1500m

Track: AW     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

In a race devoid of pace Morthan Efficient will be prominent. MORTHAN EFFICIENT (5) is a consistent sort who worked home well for a distant second over this route first up. Fitter for that and drawn to effect. Finds a very winnable race after scratchings and should take a power of beating. DUN WONDERING (3) wasn't far behind Morthan Efficient fresh and has a bit more upside at just his third career start. Can roll forward from a wide gate and take plenty of running down. GRAVITATION (10) wasn't beaten all that far first up at Cranbourne. She'll be much fitter for that and can improve quickly. LORD FOX (4) was fair on debut at Bendigo when big odds and can be hitting the line late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Morthan Efficient to win.
