BALLARAT SYNTHETIC   26 Jun 2026
 
GOING: G

Manhari BM62 Handicap 1000m

Track: Synthetic     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Strong pace from Harford, Boyd and Hughie. FROSTED IN TIME (2) resumes for his first go on synthetic. He was racing in good form last campaign, putting up some strong figures on good tracks including a 9-length maiden win at Kilmore. He profiles very well for this and maps for every chance. BLISS BOMB (7) resumes having gone to the paddock after a good maiden win at Seymour. Off a very long spell here is the query but wary of any support. SISTINE TUNNEL (6) resumes. She's had a bit of synthetic experience which helps and she does typically go well fresh. Respecting. HUGHIE (5) resumes. He's a speedy sort who has run well fresh and likes firm going so this should suit nicely. BOYD (4) is coming off a maiden win at Swan Hill and is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Frosted In Time to win.
