BALLARAT SYNTHETIC   17 Jun 2025
 
GOING: G

Sportsbet Fast Form BM58 Handicap 1200m

Track: Synthetic     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Expecting a strong tempo with Glamour Ana, Nordic and Attaboom going forward ahead of Fugacity and Pontmeirion. GLAMOUR ANA (5) is in a leading metro barn and deserved her heavily-bet Ballarat Maiden win. Maps well, and Coffey is a key jockey switch. She is ready to take the next step. ATTABOOM (9) missed a whisker here in stronger and then came back and disappointed. He's on a 4-day return and will be fitter again. Good enough, and he gets another chance. ANGELONE (2) resumes and is proven fresh. Has his first go on the synthetic and has had three jump-outs. Likely to race well. NORDIC (3) resumes off a long break, but he's won this course/distance and will enjoy a soft on-pace run. The betting will be key. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Glamour Ana.
