Ballarat Synthetic Race 1

Mortimer Petroleum Mdn Plate

Prize Money: $42,500

Want to find the McEvoy yard wherever possible on the Ballarat Synthetic and JUDAS TREE (2) looks a nice chance. He's a gelding by Blue Point on debut who draws well in barrier four and has won a couple of jumpouts. Go close. OMAN (9) made nice improvement here second-up when getting away from soft ground. She won't need to improve much more to go one better. SPIRITED DEE (10) is a filly by Fierce Impact on debut for the Hickmott yard who has won a jumpout here which is worth plenty. Respecting. PINAMILLOY (3) has placed in both starts to date and is now switching to synthetic for the first time. 1200m looks fine and he should be right there. CHESTNUT TEAL (7) next best.

Had two starts to date. At debut, 3rd of 11 at Swan Hill 2yo Mdn-Sw on June 6 over 975m, on a slow track; 1.75 len behind Relinquishing with 58kg at $11. Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 8 at Cranbourne 2yo Mdn-Sw on June 21 over 1000m, on rain affected going; long-neck behind Fontalicious with 58kg at $10. Solid top-three chance with a repeat of that latest performance.
