Ballarat Race 1 - James Vac Solutions Mdn Plate
NICCTINI (15) is a Nicconi filly from the stakes winner Rosmartini on debut for the McEvoy yard who looks nicely placed here first time out. She's trialled well leading in, winning her latest, and the stable are going well with their 2yos recently. STRENGTH WITHIN (12) is a filly by Stay Inside from the stakes-winner Karak on debut for the Tom Dabernig yard. She draws low and looks to have trialled well, keeping safe. WRITTEN WAND (14) is a filly by Written Tycoon on debut for the Matt Laurie yard. She represents strong connections and has trialled well also but does draw very wide. ANGELIC RISE (7) has race experience. She struggled on heavy going at Warrnambool first up but is better than that. ASTON (1) is a gelding by So You Think on debut who has jumped out well and can show up.

Resuming after a lengthy spell. Only one run when ran last of 7 at Pakenham 2yo Hcp on December 13 over 1000m, on a slow track; 9 len behind Milsons Point carrying 59kg at $15. Might be better off following this run.

Second-up. First-up after six months raced on the speed throughout before fading second last of 8 at Warrnambool V Gold Strike on May 5 over 1000m, on heavy track; 12 len behind Divine Dot with 57kg at $5.50. Previously second-up 3rd in a small field at Caulfield Heath 2yo Hcp on November 19 over 1000m, 2.5 len behind Almost An Angel with 57kg at $2.10. Can improve sharply on firmer footing.

Two-year-old filly by leading sire Street Boss out of Lorne who was bought for NZD $ 150,000 (NZB 2025 Karaka - Book 1). Henry Dwyer has her primed for this with three recent trials leading in today's debut. Fitter for a jump-out on May 12 at Ararat when finished fourth. Watch the betting.

Two-year-old filly making debut by Nicconi out of Rosmartini. Purchased for AUD $ 50,000 (Magic Millions 2025 Perth Yearling Sale). Won a barrier trial at Caulfield Heath over 800m May 14. Looks a nice type who can take beating here.
