Ballarat Race 3

The Haymarket Mdn Plate

Prize Money: $32,000

Tricky and the betting moves will be instructive. Hayes-trained NEVERENOUGHLEGO (5) showed good ability his only two starts last preparation and resumed with a 2.2L defeat here over 1000m. He has plenty to give and will be fitter. The longer sprint suits as does this assignment. TEXTURE (10) debuts and the stable flies at home. Looked good in both the recent Flemington jumpouts and draws the inside barrier. JUSTIBELLA (13) ran second in her latest trial at Cranbourne. Early signs certainly encouraging. ORNITHOLOGY (7) debuts off a Flemington trial win. Half brother to Group 1 winner Reserve Bank.

Three-year-old filly by Justify out of Bethsaida who was bought for AUD $ 50,000 (Inglis 2024 Classic Yearling Sale). Ciaron Maher has her ready for this with four recent trials leading in today's debut. Runner-up in a Cranbourne jump-out on September 22. Looks a capable type and will be competitive.

Second-up today. Last start faded in the straight 8th of 10 at Bendigo Mdn-Sw on September 17 over 1100m, on a slow track; 2.75 len behind Serinda carrying 59.5kg at $4.80. At only start last preparation ran last of 8 at Geelong 3yo Mdn-Sw on May 9 over 1325m, 8 len behind Ebony Fighter with 58kg at $6. Fitter and looks set to improve sharply.
