Ballarat Race 5 - Porter Plant (Bm70)
BLUSHING TYCOON (3) is a consistent gelding who was runner-up for the second time on the bounce at Sandown-Hillside 2 weeks ago over 1800m. He is nicely placed over a mile and has Blake Shinn in the saddle this time. Stick with him. ROADIE (5) will be peaking third up and is dropping down a class here. She has won twice over a mile and is ready to put her best hoof forward. Each-way. ARMINO (4) won by a neck in a 6-horse field at The Valley nearly 4 weeks ago. Damian Lane keeps the faith. Include. MUSGRAVE (8) came with a well-timed run to score by a nose at Bendigo just over a fortnight ago. He has taken his time to mature and will continue to improve this year with more racing. Go again. NOTABADBUY (1) is resuming from a spell and comes to hand quickly. Any positive market moves are worth following.
