Ballarat Synthetic Race 2

Manhari Mdn Plate

Prize Money: $32,000

Hard to go past the resuming IN'KANTOSSTAR (3), the brother to Jimmysstar. He got back and charged home into second on debut at Moe back in December and has been spelled since but 1200m in a very thin race here should see him winning. TENNESSEE LIGHTS (10) has shown some ability in three runs to date, getting home well for third over this route last time out. She can land in a decent spot and should be right there. COLLECTIONNEUR (12) is a well bred filly for the McEvoy yard who debuts, have to respect the yard at home. SWEET ALLURE (9) next best.
