BALLARAT SYNTHETIC   01 Sep 2025
 
GOING: G

Betavet Maiden Plate 1500m

Track: AW     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Just a moderate tempo headed by Grunt For Glory, Devout Ruler and Sunflower Liv. GARFIELD (2) was held up in a strongly run race last start and finished the race off well with all things considered. On the quick back up, he'll be able to make his presence felt and potentially convert his sequence of second placings into a win. DEAL DONE FAST (9) is still a colt and has trialled as if he has talent. This may be a runner on a potential Derby path. GENTOO (10) trialled behind the likes of Berkshire Breeze and lost contact, but that's to be expected. He can run well. Watch the market with this runner. DEVOUT RULER (1) will improve with a rise in distance from what he did last start. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Deal Done Fast.
