BALLARAT SYNTHETIC   17 Jun 2025
 
GOING: N

Hygain Winners Choice BM58 Handicap 1100m

Track: SYNTHETIC     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Cracking tempo with I Am Piki and Tangoette leading the way. I AM PIKI (5) had been threatening on good surfaces before a plainer effort at Geelong on a slow track. Coffey rides today, and he will push her forward. Suited and is ready to win for a leading metro yard. TANGOETTE (7) resumed with a comfortable all the way Maiden win, backed off the map. She's much improved and will be fitter again. Will lead or trail and is sure to give a sight. FORTYFOUR MAGNUM (2) led and won a Kilmore Maiden as expected and then found a 64 a stretch. Has an awkward barrier but is better suited and can make the finish with average luck. INNOCENT ENUFF (9) has been plainer her last two, but she led and just missed at Ararat prior. The gate is against, but she'll be around the mark, putting her best foot forward. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing I Am Piki.
