BALLARAT SYNTHETIC   18 Jun 2024
 
GOING: N

Porter Plant BM64 Handicap 2100m

Track: SYNTHETIC     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

From The Basement, Gunnafly and Inthelapofthegods can press forward and set a solid tempo. An even contest. EASY ROAD (3) missed a whisker at Wangaratta and then raced favourite this trick/trip beaten less than 1L. Hard-fit and we know he enjoys the surface. MAGADAN (5) had been within range three times at Sale and didn't handle the heavy 8 track at Moe last time. He rates well and can make the finish. TURIN (9) was beaten 2.8L here in the Easy Road race and a 2kg claimer replaces McDougall, who rides the above. She can sit closer today and has a chance. GUNNAFLY (7) didn't finish it off at Wangaratta but the form prior stacks up. He maps for a soft run and is worth another chance. DIPLOMAC JACK (2) is a veteran who's been racing in stronger. He also has claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Easy Road.
