Ballarat Race 1 - Global Turf Mdn Plate
FORBIDDEN DESIRE (11) is lining up for start No 5 and it is only the second non-metro race she has been in. Probably a little bit outclassed last start in Saturday grade, but was beaten only 1-3/4 lengths on the Caulfield Heath track the start prior and should be at peak fitness now. Deserves to be considered the testing material despite the wide draw. Also drawn out is ATELLA MISS (8), who is a lightly-raced 4YO but seemingly close to a win going off the good first-up run, which followed some nice trials. IBERIAN LYNX (2) is beautifully related, being out of a daughter of Black Caviar, and while he has had his chances to post a win before now, he's yet to run a poor race in five starts and has been trialling nicely. Speaking of trialling well, FILIGREE SHADOW (9) looked like a smooth mover in a recent Flemington jumpout win. YUKI (7) is a Godolphin colt who's taken some time to get the races and will be better for this outing, but looks to have some talent.

Resuming after a 12 weeks break. Not seen since he finished last of 8 at Geelong Mdn-Sw March 22 over 1235m, 10 len behind Fiveminutewarning carrying 59kg at $201. On debut second last of 13 at this track Mdn-Sw February 14 over 1000m, 9 len behind Lonstar with 59kg at $151. Race form terrible but has changed stables since latest run and been trialling well.

Gelding back from a spell of seven months. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last preparation third of 7 at Warrnambool Mdn-Sw November 11 over 1200m, soft track; 4.5 len behind Lantana with 59.5kg at $2.90. When resuming last campaign second of 7 at Geelong Mdn-Sw October 2 over 1147m, soft track; a head behind Live with 59.5kg at $3. Consistent gelding out of a daughter of Black Caviar and strikes the right race to run well first up.

Colt by Frosted facing the starter for the first time. Ran 3rd in a Cranbourne jump-out on June 1. Godolphin colt who's done enough at the jumpouts to warrant respect.

Having second run back today. Last run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 10 at Moe Mdn-Sw on May 28 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 1.5 len behind Anglesea with 57.5kg at $3.10. At only start last preparation sat on the speed throughout before fading to run last of 8 at Sandown-Lakeside 3yo Mdn on April 9 2025 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Santa Ana Moon with 56kg at $4. Drawn awkwardly, but better for the good first-up run.

Three-year-old filly (Wootton Bassett - Maraam). She has five recent trials prior to her debut today. Won her most recent trial at Flemington over 800m on June 5. Did it easy in a recent Flem jumpout win and has blinkers on, so looks primed for big debut.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up second last of 9 at Mornington Mdn-Sw on May 10 over 1000m, slow going 8 len behind Unriddle with 57.5kg at $61. Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at Hamilton Mdn-Sw on May 26 over 1200m, on heavy track; 5.5 len behind Colt Forty Five with 57.5kg at $26. Into the placings last start, but still beaten a long way so happy to risk.

Last start 5th of 13 at Sandown-Hillside 2yo F Hcp on May 23 over 1000m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Divine Dot carrying 55.5kg at $14. Before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 10 at Caulfield Heath 2yo Hcp on April 29 over 1000m, 1.75 len behind Rubare carrying 54.5kg at $7.50. This much easier than recent assignments.
