BALLARAT SYNTHETIC   27 Jun 2025
 
GOING: N

Global Turf 2YO Maiden Plate 1100m

Track: SYNTHETIC     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Good speed anticipated with a large representation of first starters lining up. Some progressive types line up. OLATUNDE (3) resumes gelded for a leading stable and raced in Listed and Group company in his initial preparation. He's won two jumpouts and has plenty of scope for improvement. Draws inside and he's going to be tough to beat in Maidens. SIDELINE (4) debuts and the Begg yard is flying. Draws inside and he's shown plenty of ability at the jumpouts. Childs is up and a bold run is likely. IMAGINATE (1) resumes for the Hayes boys and the colt was last seen in Listed grade in Sydney on debut. He's jumped out well and leading course striker John Allen rides. Draws awkwardly but has to be considered. BLUE AKOYA (6) is also in good hands and is sure to build on her debut placing. SUGGESTED PLAY: Olatunde appeals most.
