BALLARAT SYNTHETIC   26 Jun 2026
 
GOING: G

Hygain Edge Fillies and Mares BM56 Handicap 1200m

Track: Synthetic     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Expecting a solid pace with Magnardo, Our Little Star and Noubentekh leading the charge. MAGNARDO (1) is on a quick turnaround after a solid second over 1100m at this track 10 days ago, off a decent break into that run having put together a series of wins prior. She's placed here before and finds a nice race to return to winning ways. OUR LITTLE STAR (2) doesn't win many but put in a good effort here last time out when sticking on for third and turns around quickly here. Drawn well and should take beating again. POINT OF ECSTASY (9) struggled last time at Bendigo but had been good fresh and can improve. WHAT YOU WILL (4) hasn't fired in two runs this time in but could be an improver third up while PACKERS JOURNEY (5) knocked off her maiden at Donald when last seen and might be able to go on with it now. SUGGESTED PLAY: Magnardo on top.
