Ballarat Race 4 - Porter Plant Mdn Plate
PHAROAH'S GLORY (12) has been to the races twice for two narrow defeats, beaten 0.8 lengths at Kilmore last time out after boxing on well. Better again and is certainly bred to run 1600m. Maps ideally, should take beating. SEA DANGER (5) is knocking on the door with back-to-back placings, beaten narrowly at Swan Hill over this trip last time out. Likely to get back but should be very hard to hold out. BLACKFISH (10) has placed in her past three. Back slightly in trip here but can kick up and make it a true test which will suit. USK VALLEY (9) resumes and can figure.

Second run back. First-up after seven months sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 10 at Avoca Mdn-Sw on March 29 over 1300m, 1.3 len behind King Alla with 59.5kg at $13. Previously second-up 4th of 12 at Naracoorte 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on August 30 over 1430m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Hold The Phone with 58kg at $9.50. Likely to hold the good form and play a major role again.

At the latest run made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 14 at Werribee Mdn-Sw on April 12 over 1400m, 2 len behind Wats Normal carrying 57.5kg at $10. The run before that eased back early on 9th of 14 at Geelong Mdn-Sw on March 23 over 1321m, 4.5 len behind Anchor Down with 57.5kg at $16. Should run well again and is definitely in the mix.

Racing well. Most recently 3rd of 10 at Kyneton Mdn-Sw on April 10 over 1856m, 2.25 len behind Bergasun with 67kg at $5.50. The run before that held ground to the line 2nd of 10 at Ararat Mdn-Sw on March 27 over 1606m, 0.8 len behind Wimmera Star with 55kg at $6. Rates highly and should measure up.

Second-up. First start didn't finish the race at Moree Mdn April 2 2024 over 1400m. Went for a spell before returning eased back early on 7th of 12 at Ararat Mdn-Sw on March 27 over 1306m, 7 len behind Gin Baba carrying 57.5kg at $61. No easier this time and looks tested again.
