BALLARAT SYNTHETIC   24 Jun 2026
 
GOING: G

Whitford Liquid Waste BM66 Handicap 1500m

Track: SYNTHETIC     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Ultra Blue is the probable leader in the small field. ULTRA BLUE (1) gets the nod. He's in great form, winning two of his past four including an all-the-way win at Sandown Lakeside last time out when well backed. Did struggle his only go on synthetic but that was on debut - give him another go. COMIC HERO (2) is having his first go on synthetic, coming here in good form as well. He tackled a much stronger race in town last time and worked home well for third behind Thebelmontgangster & Lovelycut. He'll give the danger a start but look out late. PRINCEOFNOTTINGHAM (4) made nice improvement second up at Caulfield Heath and has claims now with a good synthetic record. LETHAL THOUGHTS (3) was a narrow winner two back and has claims on best. BUCKS NIGHT (5) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ultra Blue to win.
