Ballarat Race 2 - Ballarat Volkswagen Mdn Plate
Tricky. CATWALK ICON (2) won a Flemington jumpout and then was well supported at Bendigo on debut and faded late from the speed on a heavy track. She maps well, and Coffey stays aboard. She's sure to have come on and will take beating on a dryer surface. POMAH (9) worked home fairly at Geelong on debut after an awkward start. She'd won two Flemington jumpouts leading into that and can make quick improvement. Has been kept on the fresh side, and Williams is a key jockey engagement. GIMME SOME LOVIN' (5) resumed on the heavy at Bendigo and looked a run short. The smart stable has applied the blinkers for the first time, and it won't surprise to see her feature. GISELLA (6) placed in the CATWALK ICON race on the heavy track at big odds. May need those conditions to shine, but can't be taken lightly. SATTVA (12) debuts with the in-form Brown aboard, and her jumpouts suggest she needs to be kept safe.

Second run from a spell eased back early on 3rd in a small field at Bendigo 3yo F Mdn-Sw on August 28 over 1100m, on a wet track; 1.75 len behind Eco Force carrying 57kg at $26.

First starter by Zoustar out of Bella Rosa. Has a total of two trials leading in today's debut. Did not show a great deal at the trials and prefer to see in a race before backing.
