BALLARAT SYNTHETIC   21 May 2024
 
GOING: N

Porter Plant Maiden Plate 1500m

Track: SYNTHETIC     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

The debutant Stairway has the opportunity to lead. Tricky. STAIRWAY (6) debuts and the McEvoy yard flies around here. Coffey is a positive jockey booking and the gelding is sure to be well-prepared. PRIDE OF PROISIR (5) resumed at Horsham over 1400m well-supported and met trouble early. Missed a whisker three back over this trip at Benalla bet into even money. He should position on the pace today with the blinkers applied again. Fitter and is a chance. MISS TERASITA (12) drifted back on debut and didn't get into it. Resumes today off a soft trial and has a handy 3kg claim. Can come back better and is drawn for a soft run. It would be a surprise if any of the remaining runners threatened. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Stairway.
