BALLARAT SYNTHETIC   25 Jun 2024
 
GOING: N

Porter Plant F&M BM58 Handicap 1200m

Track: AW     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Abundant early pace from Maid Of The Mist and Coast Princess ahead of Rock Melody. KLASSIK SISTINE (1) improved quickly second up to clear her maiden status at Murtoa last spring and has been spelling since then. She has been patiently handled and with the benefit of a 2-kilo claim, she is nicely poised to make a positive start to her new campaign. On top. COAST PRINCESS (5) has needed both of her runs back from a spell and had no luck with a wide run at Cranbourne last time out. She has a big jockey upgrade this time with John Allen taking the ride and with the way her stable is firing at the minute, she will be hard to hold out at this easier level. MAID OF THE MIST (3) did not get clear galloping room until the race was all over when resuming here 4 weeks ago. She is expected to finish a lot closer this time. Each-way value. ROCK MELODY (7) has place claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Maid Of Mist each-way.
