Ballarat Race 2 - Brandt Mdn Plate
NEBUCHADNEZZAR (12) has run second in both runs to date, either side of a spell. He was good on debut in New Zealand and then ran well as a short-priced favourite at Swan Hill first-up. He maps ideally from the gate and will be very hard to catch. JOON HO (4) resumes. He's placed in all five starts to date including two second placings at both runs last time in. Was in the market on both occasions there and won't need to improve much at all to be winning here. HOT WINGS (9) is a filly by Derryn on debut for the Hayes yard. He's shown ability at the jump outs and must be respected. BENRIACH (1) next best.

Third race start today. When well in the market at debut, struggled in the run home; second last of 8 at Bendigo Mdn-Sw on June 4 over 1100m, on a slow track; 11 len behind Reserve Bank with 59.5kg at $4. Second-up came home strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 13 at Seymour Mdn-Sw on June 16 over 1000m, slow going 0.5 len behind Shalimar Moon carrying 59.5kg at $8. Genuine contender in this suitable contest.

Four-year-old gelding (Love Conquers All - Tagrheed) at the races for the first time. Has had no recent barrier trials. This looks a tricky race for him.

Is first-up after a break of six months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last preparation with blinkers first time; second of 7 at Mornington Mdn-Sw January 7 over 1200m, soft track; 0.5 len behind Hello World carrying 59.5kg at $2.80. Previously first up; second in a small field at Bendigo Mdn-Sw December 17 over 1100m, a neck behind Yongtai carrying 59.5kg at $1.80. Rates highly and can get off the mark.

Gelding by El Roca facing the starter for the first time. Recent trial form has been pretty solid. Runner-up in a Stawell trial over 1000m on May 22. Will be better for this hitout.

Second-up. Promising on debut 2nd of 8 at Trentham in the LR Wellesley Stks on January 13 over 1100m, 2 len behind Archaic Smile with 57kg at $4.40. Returned from break rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 10 at Swan Hill Cg&E Mdn-Sw on June 7 over 1200m, 0.5 len behind Oak Park Rebel with 57kg at $1.80. Leading chance with plenty of upside.

Was at long odds at debut, 4th of 11 at Ballarat Synthetic Mdn-Sw on June 14 over 1000m, 4 len behind Cap Ten carrying 55kg at $26. That race experience to prove invaluable.

Third-up today. Resumes off a 49 day letup. Resuming eased back early on 7th of 10 at Ararat Mdn-Sw on April 26 over 1106m, 5.5 len behind Elvis carrying 59.5kg at $41. Second run from a spell raced on the pace before fading ran last of 10 at this track Mdn-Sw on May 12 over 1400m, slow going 13 len behind Governor King with 59.5kg at $101. Has speed but unlikely to be there at the finish.
