BALLARAT SYNTHETIC   24 Jun 2026
 
GOING: G

Manhari Maiden Plate 1500m

Track: SYNTHETIC     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

A race that lacks early pressure on paper. ALL THE MOVES (1) hit the line strongly here first up on Sunday when getting home into third, beaten 1.3 lengths at his first start for the new yard. Turns around quickly here and looks a strong chance of breaking through if he does. DEMPSEY (4) has had a few chances but is racing well, not far away his past few starts. First go synthetic here but should give a sight up on speed. TUBBS LEGACY (11) is a filly by Grunt on debut for the Matt Cumani yard who has had a solid host of jumpout experience. Respecting on the home deck. JUST CURIOUS (10) hasn't shown a whole lot to date but away from these wet tracks could see improvement. INARTICULATE (5) similarly struggled badly on heavy last time and could improve. SUGGESTED PLAY: All The Moves to win.
