Ballarat Synthetic Race 3 - Whitford Liquid Waste Mdn Plate
FILIGREE SHADOW (6) was well fancied on debut and fair in the heavy conditions on the turf here, finishing fourth. Better for it and may well appreciate the firmer footing. Worth another chance. PULL MY FINGER (3) deserves a win having placed in 10 of 13 starts. Placed on the turf here last time adding to a string of minors. Senior rider goes aboard and should go close again. ETERNAL JOY (12) returned from a break with a sixth at Cranbourne after placing on debut late last year. Fitter and will find this easier. Can improve sharply. HELLO MISTRESS (7) wasn't disgraced at Swan Hill over their carnival, finishing fourth. That was her first run for almost a year so will strip much fitter. PLANET MARS (2) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was beaten 5 lengths into eighth over 1100m at Pakenham Synthetic. Fitter so a likely improver.

Racing well recently. Last start 3rd of 10 at Ballarat Mdn-Sw on June 12 over 1000m, on rain affected going; 4 len behind Gina's A Star carrying 56.5kg at $6. Before that ran on from midfield; 2nd of 8 at Mornington Mdn-Sw on May 25 over 1000m, on a slow track; long-neck behind Tassorting with 56.5kg at $12. Long overdue and worth another chance.

Was well-supported at debut, 4th of 10 at Ballarat Mdn-Sw on June 12 over 1200m, in the wet; 5 len behind Yuki carrying 57.5kg at $3.50. This is easier and expected to improve with the firmer footing.

Third race start. First start ran last of 11 at Pakenham Synthetic 2yo Mdn-Sw on July 14 over 1000m, 12 len behind She's My Ex carrying 56kg at $201. Returned from break ran last of 11 at Caulfield Heath Mdn-Sw on May 27 over 1000m, slow going 10 len behind Farmelia with 57.5kg at $101. Still early in the prep and needs another run or two.

Third race start. Promising on debut 2nd in a small field at Geelong 2yo Mdn-Sw on December 4 over 1147m, 2 len behind Golden Pulse carrying 53kg at $3. Went for a spell before racing on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 8 at Cranbourne 2yo Mdn-Sw on June 21 over 1000m, on heavy track; 4.5 len behind Fontalicious carrying 56kg at $2.15. Fitter for that run and expected to be in the finish this time.
