BALLARAT SYNTHETIC   26 Jun 2026
 
GOING: G

Sportsbet Feed Class 1 Handicap 1200m

Track: Synthetic     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Expecting a strong gallop with Angling For Info and Min Kiata taking up the running over Bad Blood. BAD BLOOD (1) resumes having made the perfect start to his career at Stawell, sent out as favourite and justifying the support to come away and win well enough. He was tipped straight out for a short break and can go on with the job now. GISELLA (11) struggled in much tougher company in town last time but had been going very well prior for this and did run second her only go on this track. Hard to hold out. VERY TORQUEE (5) got home well to grab second at Swan Hill when last seen and has claims provided he handles the synthetic first time. PICO BELLA (8) is lightly raced having struggled at Murray Bridge last time out. The fresh win here on turf was solid and she could improve. ANGLING FOR INFO (2) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bad Blood to win.
