BALLARAT SYNTHETIC   01 Jul 2025
 
GOING: N

Hygain Winners Choice BM64 Handicap 1500m

Track: Synthetic     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Delivering and Anointed Lad are both expected to press forward and take it up. DELIVERING (2) enjoyed the switch to this track leading and spacing the 58 graders over this trip. He's in the premier stable and has a weight drop. Rates to be winning again. ABSOLUTE SUNSHINE (8) has been knocking on the door and found the above 2.5L too good last time. His effort here three back rates well enough and he may get closer. WATS NORMAL (3) is going well and was narrowly beaten last time on the Pakenham synthetic over 1400m. He draws wide but with average luck would be a hope and the stable flies at this track. IT'SBRUCE (7) is over from South Australia and shouldn't be taken lightly. His effort two back at Morphettville Parks stacks right up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Delivering.
