Ballarat Race 3 - Lab Plumbing Mdn Plate
Siding with the newcomers here as the raced form doesn't look all that strong. DEFARZIO (9) is a gelding by Zousain for the Hayes yard who looked very sharp winning a recent jumpout at Flemington by a big margin. Tipping he's ready to go and can take care of these. LUMINATION (10) is a filly on debut by Wootton Basset for the Busuttin & Young stable. She's also won a jumpout leading in and draws nicely, go close. ALMONTEGO (8) is a gelding by Alabama Express for the Gavin Bedggood yard who has jumped out well enough to be a factor. POINTS FOR EFFORT (3) has had two runs back and was better second up. He could improve again from EXCELAOT (1) who is going okay and has minor claims.
