Ballarat Race 2

Ac Accounting Mdn Plate

Prize Money: $42,500

CHANDLER (1) sets the standard after a sound debut second in a Cranbourne Mdn, where he was sent out favourite, settled well back and still finished within two lengths of Ottalaus despite coming wider in run. With that race experience and a profile to improve, he'll go close. SWISS IMPACT (9) is the key first-starter danger, coming off a Flemington trial win for the Tony and Calvin McEvoy stable, with Luke Currie aboard and both stable and rider carrying strong Ballarat profiles. WEEPING WONDER (4) debuts for the Jerome Hunter yard off sound jumpout form and draws low, watch the betting. HE'S A DANDY (2) next best for the Hayes/Dee combination.

Comments

Placed on debut in a Cranbourne Mdn, finishing second to Ottalaus after settling rearward and being beaten two lengths. The market sent him out favourite, and the run had merit given he shifted ground shortly after the start, raced wide near the 600m and was restrained. With race experience now banked he should be very hard to beat.

Comments

Made some late inroads from well back when fifth to Deadly Force at Mornington, beaten five lengths after jumping awkwardly and starting at big odds. He now comes back from metro company, which helps, but the Bendigo run prior was plain when seventh and beaten just over eight lengths. Rough hope.

Debuts with a useful grounding, having trialled four times and most recently finished a close third at Mornington after winning an earlier trial there. Craig Newitt takes the only ride of his day, and Jerome Hunter has a solid trainer-sire record with this cross. Enough groundwork to be a genuine debut place chance.

Comments

Failed to finish off when last in a Cranbourne Mdn, beaten six and a half lengths by Splendacious after sitting close enough at the turn. She faces a harder meeting from that country run, and her previous effort in an Open at the Heath on soft ground was also only fair. Improvement is possible, but others look stronger.

Debuts from barrier one with some pedigree appeal as a half sister to Group 3 winner Petits Filous, and the trainer-sire combination reads well overall. The immediate trial evidence is only moderate, with two Cranbourne trials for sixth and seventh, so she may be better for the experience. See this one.

Comments

Makes her debut off a Flemington trial win, having also finished second in an earlier trial, which gives her a solid platform for a 1000m maiden. The Tony and Calvin McEvoy stable has a strong Ballarat profile and Luke Currie is among the leading jockeys at this track. No race experience but profiles well and draws nicely.
