BALLARAT SYNTHETIC   28 Jun 2024
 
GOING: N

Hygain Winners Choice BM58 Handicap 1000m

Track: SYNTHETIC     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

This will be a keen early contest, with Clear Mission and Call To Glory prominent. MISS SUNSHINE (6) is racing consistently and should prove very hard to toss for the McEvoy camp. She just found one better at this track and trip last time out as the $2.10 favourite, beaten a long neck. Finds a winnable race here and should go close. CALL TO GLORY (1) has only had four starts to date and won dominantly by 6 lengths at Edenhope last time out. More depth here but must be considered. CLEAR MISSION (4) was a narrow maiden winner at Albury at short odds first-up and solid again last time. Can take catching from the inside draw. SUTADAMU (3) was good here last start and rates a sold hope off that. SHE'S XTRAVAGANT (12) can land in a good spot and give some cheek. SUGGESTED PLAY: Miss Sunshine to win.
