BALLARAT SYNTHETIC   04 Jul 2025
 
GOING: N

Manhari Maiden Plate 1400m

Track: AW     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

The presence of a few first starters will keep Champagne Wishes busy. EN FLIQUE (4) continues to race very well, just finding one better at her past three starts. First try on a synthetic surface but seems fairly adaptable and will be hard to hold out. CHAMPAGNE WISHES (3) was just fair on heavy going at Wangaratta last time out but had been good on resumption and firmer footing will suit. Takes catching. MADAM MOSSMAN (6) is a filly by National Defense on debut. Wouldn't shock entirely. LOWESTOFT (5) is a filly by Shamus Award on debut and finds a winnable race. VILA MOON (9) is third-up and dropping 200m in trip. Did a good job to finish third first-up but followed that up with a very disappointing tenth over 1600m at Swan Hill last time. Can atone. SUGGESTED PLAY: En Flique to break through.
