BALLARAT SYNTHETIC   27 Jun 2025
 
GOING: N

Porter Plant BM58 Handicap 1000m

Track: SYNTHETIC     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Strong tempo from the outset as a number of them push forward, with Tochka, Red Line Fever and Over The Stars leading the charge. Competitive. EL PIBE DE ORO (3) was quickly back on track placing here first-up at this level. Metro trained and he has more to give. Fitter and should take beating. NIGHT FLASH (5) raced handy and won his Maiden here, backed off the map. He will push forward again and Childs goes aboard the Hayes-trained galloper. Fitter and looks capable of taking the next step. TOCHKA (1) led and won a 64 here and then came back and was challenged on speed in a 70 and folded up. She's down in grade with a 3kg claimer booked. The yard flies at the track and a bounce isn't out of the question. RED LINE FEVER (6) resumes and will be in the finish if presented on song. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing El Pibe De Oro.
