Ballarat Synthetic Race 2 - Sportsbet Ballarat Cup Dec 5 Book Now Mdn Plate
ZIGGY BAMA (5) is a four-year-old gelding who lines up for the first time. From a family of winners, being by Alabama Express from Zeitlin. Coming along well at the jumpouts with a win at his most recent at Geelong. Should enjoy a nice run from this draw and can open his career in the best possible way. OTTALAUS (1) improved last time out, finishing a narrow second at the end of 1000m at this track after being prominent at the bend. Should be nearing his peak now third-up. HELLO MISTRESS (7) ran below expectations last time at Warracknabeal but her two runs prior were encouraging. Drawn well for Coffey and is worth keeping in mind. SHARE THE MUSIC (2) gelding by Overshare out of Lady Music who makes debut. Well educated with four hit-outs leading into this, the latest when fourth in a St Arnaud jump-out. Has the pedigree so worth keeping safe.
