BALLARAT SYNTHETIC   13 Jun 2025
 
GOING: N

The Haymarket Maiden Plate 2100m

Track: AW     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Solid pace on the cards with Flying Shelby and Girlpower who like to get rolling early. MRS HARRIS (11) steps up to 2100m at just her third race start but is coming along nicely, having found the line well at Bendigo over 1500m last time out. Slight query at the trip but the McEvoy stable certainly know what they're doing, especially on this track. Has upside and should take beating. DRAW ATTENTION (7) looks one who will relish the rise to 2100m. She's a filly by The Autumn Sun who hit the line nicely at Geelong last time out to finish second over 1760m. Tough draw but should be flying late. TRIORA (12) improved sharply second up off a poor fresh run, still well beaten by the winner at Horsham but holding down second. Have to respect now. VIBRANIUM (6) was well beaten on debut at Ararat but can be a quick improver up in trip while BATTLE POINT (1) has place claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mrs Harris to win.
