BALLARAT SYNTHETIC   13 Jun 2025
 
GOING: N

Hygain Winners Choice BM70 Handicap 1500m

Track: AW     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Estrapaz should find the front with Arden Green and Winning Toast on his heels. WINNING TOAST (10) is hard to ignore off a huge 5.5 length maiden win over this course and distance last start, powering away to score as the $1.50 favourite. Quickly up in grade is the query but if he can repeat last start he'll go close again. ROADIE (7) doesn't have the best form on paper however did hit the line from an impossible position at Ballarat last time out in a good BM64. She won her only go on this surface and is up to this class. MONTJEUIFY (2) brings winning form off a sound victory at Geelong over 1325m when last seen 35 days ago. He's won on a synthetic track before and should set up well from the soft gate. CAPULET (5) resumes and isn't without claims on her home deck. SUGGESTED PLAY: Winning Toast on top.
