BALLARAT SYNTHETIC   01 Jul 2025
 
GOING: N

Manhari Maiden Plate 2100m

Track: Synthetic     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Rivazza to take up the running at a moderate tempo. DUN WONDERING (3) will be well fancied with most of his competition struggling for form. He improved sharply when narrowly beaten here over 1500m, and with the extra fitness the step up to a middle distance shouldn't be an issue. CALGARY FLYER (2) went close over a mile and then was eased out of it at Geelong (vet cleared). He was required to jump out satisfactorily and did that here in good style. Has the blinkers on for the first time and a 2kg claim. Each way. RIVAZZA (11) peaks and showed enough at Seymour two back to suggest she can get some of the money. John Allen is a key jockey switch. BATTLE POINT (1) will be around the mark if he puts his best foot forward. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Dun Wondering.
