BALLARAT SYNTHETIC   02 Jul 2026
 
GOING: G

Porter Plant Fillies & Mares Maiden Plate 1400m

Track: Synthetic     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Moderate pace from Pride Of Mandy taking it up with Gresford and Majestic Choice on her back. MAJESTIC CHOICE (4) is yet to place in six runs to date but is going okay, switching to this track last time out and running a solid fourth when working home well. Turns around quickly here and should be able to settle closer with winning claims. PRIDE OF MANDY (5) presents third up. Two runs back have been solid, narrowly beaten fresh before tackling a tougher race in town. First go on the synthetic but should take catching. SHE'S ANN IDEA (9) is a mare by Puissance De Lune who debuts for the Mitch Freedman yard. She's been heavily supported in early betting off solid jumpout form and won't need to be a star to be winning here. FINNISH GIRL (2) is a 32-start maiden but is going quite well and has each-way claims from THINK ABOUT HER (12) who could improve. SUGGESTED PLAY: Majestic Choice to win.
