Ballarat Synthetic Race 2 - Brandt Mdn Plate
Sticking with the McEvoy newcomer theme with UNSTIRRED (12), a gelding by Exceed And Excel. He draws for a lovely run and strikes a very winnable maiden here against a few exposed types. He's jumped out well and looks the one to beat. AQUA STORM (1) has been thereabouts in two runs back, perhaps not seeing out 1425m on heavy ground at Geelong. The fresh run says he'll take beating. VIPERSTRIKE (6) didn't handle the heavy going at Moe last time but had been good on debut in a decent maiden at Kilmore and is in the mix. CHARLOTTE'S WEB (8) similarly can improve on firmer footing third up while HEAVENLY PHAROAH (2) can run well on debut off a jumpout win here.

Comes off a 31 day let-up. Most recently ran last of 12 at Kilmore Mdn-Sw on June 1 over 1107m, on a slow track; 8 len behind Signed By A Kiss with 57.5kg at $41. The start before that 8th of 10 at Ballarat Mdn-Sw on May 10 over 1200m, in the wet; 7 len behind Onlooker carrying 57.5kg at $41. Not among the chances.
