Ballarat Synthetic Race 6 - Manhari (Bm56)

THINKING SENSATION (4) launched into this campaign with a dominant win at Coleraine in this grade. The fell a lip shy from making it two on the bounce here last time. Fit and firing. DESIGNS OF EIGHT (10) wound up strongly last time out to finish one length adrift in second over this track and trip when resuming. Better for that and and doesn't need to improve a great deal here to be winning. AKA DAKA (5) is knocking on the door and clearly appreciates theses conditions. Peaking now and gets a key switch in Allen. Have to take seriously. NO GREATER VUE (7) settled well back from a wide draw last time then wound up strongly to finish fifth over 1500m at this track. Gets the chance to settle closer this time and looms as one of the key chances.

Second run back. First-up after four months 7th of 9 in a F&M Bm56 at this track on August 25 over 1200m, 6 len behind Antalian with 59.5kg at $19. Previously second-up 3rd of 10 in a 0 - 56 at Kilmore on February 13 over 1450m, 3 len behind Elvis carrying 58kg at $15. Fitter but looks a forlorn hope.

Last start ran second last of 12 in a Bm56 at this track on August 18 over 1500m, 6 len behind Weather Delay with 57kg at $11. The race before that ran on from midfield and won by a head at this track on August 11 over 1400m defeating Royal Infantry with 54.5kg at $12. Not one of the main chances.
