BALLARAT SYNTHETIC   22 Jul 2025
 
GOING: N

Global Turf Maiden Plate 2100m

Track: Synthetic     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Izola is likely to roll to the lead and set a decent tempo. Tough. SO VOGUE (5) has strong relative middle distance on dry tracks and should enjoy going on to the all-weather. Has to manage a wide barrier but a senior rider is back on and with average luck he'll go close. Metro-trained EN MER (1) went close over a mile and then wasn't beaten far at Wangaratta last time. Steps up to this trip for the first time and Newitt is engaged for the first time. He's a live chance. SPOT THE GREY (6) has found one better here twice over 1500m and gives every indication the 2100m will suit. He'll give away a start but should finish hard. OCCASIONAL GLIMPSE (12) has needed her two turf runs this preparation over a mile and is looking for this distance. Maps well, and the barn has a favourable record at the track. IZOLA (10) is a likely improver from the Waller yard. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with So Vogue.
