Avoca Race 1 - Ballarat Radio Mdn Plate
THE DEFENDER (3) looks to have found a winnable assignment after four good runs at quality venues this time in. Wide gate could present some issues but possesses enough early speed to hopefully offset that. IMMORTAL JUSTICE (8) is a daughter of a champion sire who was terrible two back but good either side of that, which is reason enough to think she should be given another chance. THE FOX SISTERS (10) was fancied on debut, when she ran well at a track that probably didn't suit, and has drawn to be prominent in this. MS HUBBLE (9) caught the eye late first up and with natural improvement, she looms as a major threat.

Gelding by Trust In A Gust on debut. Won a jump-out at Great Western on March 20. Looks to have some claims.

Gelding by National Defense making his first appearance. Fitter for a jump-out on March 12 at Bendigo when finished fourth. Has shown enough at the jumpouts to suggest he could be a force in this.

Form hard to fault. Last start held ground to the line 3rd of 10 at Geelong Mdn-Sw on March 15 over 1100m, 1.75 len behind Peace Baby with 59.5kg at $8.50. Before that sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 9 at Bendigo 4yo+ Mdn-Sw on March 2 over 1000m, 2 len behind Sistine Tunnel with 59.5kg at $13. Well placed. Will find less depth here If he can settle closer this time he will prove hard to hold out.

Six-year-old mare (More Than Ready - Byatt). She has three recent trials prior to her debut today. Runner-up in a Great Western jump-out on March 20. Has the pedigree so could measure up without surprising.

Resuming from a lengthy break. Only one run when ran last of 14 at Bendigo 2yo Mdn-Sw on July 25 over 1100m, on heavy track; 24 len behind Polyglot carrying 56kg at $61. Might be better off following this run.

Was well-supported at debut, 4th of 9 at Stony Creek Mdn-Sw on March 9 over 1109m, 3 len behind Amraam carrying 57kg at $3.10. Promising three-year-old filly who can take this out.

Resuming after a five months break. Not seen since she finished last of 10 at Warrnambool Mdn-Sw October 21 over 1100m, 10 len behind Fickle carrying 57.5kg at $81. On debut sixth of 11 at Warrnambool Mdn-Sw October 4 over 1000m, 6 len behind Cherish The Day with 57.5kg at $41. Prefer to see how she returns.

Back after a long spell. Finished off last campaign ran last of 12 at Ballarat Mdn-Sw on June 12 over 1400m, on a wet track; 13 len behind Coral Emperor with 59.5kg at $81. When resuming last campaign 9th of 11 at Donald 4yo+ Mdn-Sw on November 19 2023 over 1350m, 7 len behind Sevillana with 59.5kg at $61. This looks too tough.
