Ballarat Race 1

Manhari Mdn Plate

Prize Money: $42,500

FRANKED UP (1) looks a strong chance on debut after the horse to beat scratches. He's got three trials behind him, a close second at Horsham most recently and first-time blinkers applied for the McEvoy yard who strike well at home. BELLA ATHENA (5) is another first starter with enough trial grounding, including a close second at Pakenham, and the Hayes stable have to be respected. WHITEBAIT (4) has been below market expectation in two Mdn runs, but he was wide on debut at Geelong and is now third-up from a kinder draw, so a sharper showing would not surprise. MISS CAPRI (7) is coming along okay and has minor claims.

Comments

Debuts with three trials behind him, including a close second at Horsham most recently and a 1200m trial win at Murtoa before that. First-time blinkers are a notable addition, and the Tony and Calvin McEvoy stable combines with Luke Currie, both strong Ballarat factors. Stable strike very well at home and blinkers on suggests he'll be ready to go.

Was second last on debut at Bendigo, beaten over 12 lengths behind Quynh after beginning slowly and being tightened shortly after the start. The market also gave little encouragement at big odds, and he made no impact from well back. Has to find a lot more.

Comments

Backs up quickly after finishing second last at Warrnambool, beaten just over six lengths at big odds, and now comes to harder company from a country meeting. His Bendigo run prior was more competitive, making ground without threatening after a slow start and early hampering. Bendigo effort two back was better, rough chance.

Comments

Was second last in a Mdn at this track last start, beaten just over six lengths after beginning slowly, covering ground and fading out. His Geelong debut had more merit, finishing sixth in a Mdn after racing wide throughout when near the top of betting. Drawn well and is a possible improver.

Makes her debut after four trials, the latest a close second at Pakenham, so there is enough groundwork to bring her to the races in order. Should be ready to run a strong race.

Worked home into third at this track last start, beaten just over four lengths after settling well back and passing runners late. That was a clear step in the right direction after her Geelong eighth, where she was slow away, keen and steadied, and she did finish behind Star Je Taime there. First look at 1600m, but heading the right way.

Finished last on debut in a Mdn at this track, beaten six and a half lengths after racing keenly through the early and middle stages and failing to quicken when asked. She had been given three trials beforehand, so there was some grounding, but the race-day effort lacked finish. Second-up, but has to settle and finish off much better.
