Ballarat Race 3 - Pipe Pro Directional Drilling Mdn Plate
MYRIAD (5) settled back on debut and then ran on powerfully to finish third at Pakenham nearly a fortnight ago. He has an extra 100m to travel this time, and with the natural improvement that is expected second up, he is the one to beat. LADY LONSDALE (9) was doing her best work late on debut when finishing third. She has the blinkers on for the first time and also has Blake Shinn in the saddle. She should go close to taking this out. GRAMMY'S SUNSHINE (8) was not disgraced in Stakes company in her only start to date on debut at Flemington in the spring. She has won both of her jumpouts last month and should be right in the finish at the business end here fresh up. MALDINI (3) just battled in a couple of starts last year and would have matured after his spell. He has been close up in a couple of jumpouts and would not be a shock winner.

Was at big odds at debut, 6th of 12 at Pakenham 2yo Mdn-Sw on March 20 over 1100m, 7 len behind Scenic Point with 58kg at $31. Worth another chance.

At debut, 3rd of 12 at Pakenham 2yo Mdn-Sw on March 20 over 1100m, 4.5 len behind Scenic Point carrying 58kg at $17. Will derive great benefit from that hit-out and looks a great chance to break through.

Resuming after a break; only one run when eased back early on 6th of 11 at Flemington in the LR Inglis 2yo on November 9 over 1000m, 4.5 len behind Within The Law carrying 56kg at $13. Capable of a bold return.

At debut, ran on from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Bendigo 2yo F Mdn-Sw on March 18 over 1100m, 1.5 len behind Excenia carrying 57kg at $10. Leading contender with that run under her belt.

Filly by Ole Kirk facing the starter for the first time. Fitter for a jump-out on March 26 at Ballarat when finished fifth. Trained on the course but others rate better and happy to watch this time.
