Ballarat Race 5 - Porter Plant - Country Mile Series Heat 2 (Bm64)
SIR ATLAS (1) clearly on top. He was beaten a head by a very much in form Revelare last start at Sandown Lakeside in what was an incredibly slow tempo and now looks ideally suited getting to 1600m. He started favourite and ran second in the final of this series last year and should have too much class for these at BM64 level. MRS ARTIE (7) is a nice filly on the up having won three of five to date, far too good as favourite at Sale last time out when scoring by 2.75 lengths. She's promising and should take beating. SPANGLED SIPPER (10) is racing well this time in, a soft winner in BM58 grade two back, beaten as a $1.65 favourite last time. She maps for a soft run and can figure. CAT NOIR (8) was even in the Colac Cup last time out having won in this grade prior and has each way claims.

Returns from a 29-day let-up. Most recently 2nd in a small field at Sandown-Lakeside Bm70 on January 25 over 1600m, neck behind Revelare with 59.5kg at $4. The run before that 7th of 11 at Pakenham Bm84 on December 21 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind The Open carrying 56kg at $7.50. Rates as the one to beat.

Last start 4th of 8 at Sandown-Lakeside Bm70 on February 1 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind Russian Meteor carrying 59kg at $9. The race before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at Werribee Bm64 on January 10 over 1429m, 1.0 len behind Tatsu with 62kg at $3.20. Prefer to see him back in form.

Second run back. First-up after 14 months got back early 6th of 10 at Colac Bm64 on February 7 over 1600m, 7 len behind Crafty Boss with 61kg at $15. Previously second-up 8th of 12 at York on October 14 2023 over 2112m, slow going 7 len behind Certain Lad with 58.5kg at $29. Is a second up winner in the past but looks tested again.
