Balaklava Race 3 - Bmd Mdn Plate
GINGER SINNER (5) got too far back from a wide draw first-up but rattled home into a narrow fourth. Run was better than it looks, as she was able to make ground off a very slow tempo. Suspect he will settle much closer this time and prove tough to stop. SO POLITE (10) comes through the same race, finish alongside GS on debut. Is sure to come on with that run under her belt and is also drawn better. Expecting them to fight it out. THE SPRINKLER (6) is a Smart Missile gelding on debut for the smart R & C Jolly stale. Looks ready after placing in a recent Balaklava trial. Toeroek booked. A bold showing is on the cards. SCHUELLER (2) was poor first-up off a 21 month break but should improve. Keeping safe in minors.

Resuming after a seven months break. Finished off last campaign second last of 12 at Bordertown 3yo+ Mdn-Sw September 13 over 1200m, 12 len behind Fall Of Rome carrying 56kg at $151. On debut ran last of 14 at Murray Bridge 3yo+ Cg&E Mdn-Sw July 24 over 1000m, soft track; 9 len behind Watchme Win carrying 54.5kg at $151. Not good enough for these.

Second-up. First-up after nearly two years ran last of 8 at Broken Hill Mdn-Sw on March 15 over 900m, 13 len behind Light And Tangy with 56kg at $7.50. Previously second-up 6th of 10 at Gold Coast Poly Mdn-Sw on February 25 2023 over 1050m, 18 len behind Serigala with 56.5kg at $5.50. Will benefit from that run and is one of the chances.

Second run back. First-up after four months came home strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 11 at this track 2yo+ Mdn-Sw on April 2 over 1050m, 0.5 len behind Effusiv carrying 57kg at $7.50. Previously second-up ran on from midfield; 3rd of 12 at this track 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on October 2 over 1050m, 3 len behind Mercury Eight with 56kg at $7. Strips fitter and is sure to measure up.

Gelding by Smart Missile facing the starter for the first time. Trial form indicates he's up to a solid debut. Was runner-up in a trial at Balaklava on October 31 over 1050m. Can make an immediate impact.

Is first-up after a break of 13 months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last campaign second last of 12 at Oakbank 3yo+ Mdn-Sw March 30 2024 over 1100m, soft track; 12 len behind Pure Bliss carrying 55kg at $26. Previously first up; third of 12 at Strathalbyn 3yo+ Mdn-Sw March 13 2024 over 1200m, 6 len behind Lunasha with 55kg at $12. Has a fine first-up record and deserves consideration.
