Ballina Race 6 - Lennox Hotel Mdn Plate
Pretty weak race after the scratchings. MAWSONS EXPEDITION (3) is first-up from a 197-day spell for new trainer Samantha McGuren. Opened last prep with a close second after leading over 805m at Coffs Harbour. Should roll to the front and will be hard to catch. CASTLE OF CARDS (9) has been freshened up since working home well for fourth over this distance at Grafton five weeks ago. A repeat of that effort will be good enough to put her right in the finish. HARE STREET (2) raced handy then battled on well for third in heavy going over 1106m at Grafton recently. Very fit and will handle the ground so he is right in contention. BOLD ZARA (8) is a Zousain first starter. Not asked for much at her trials. Watch the betting. KIRRA'S SISTER (10) is first-up from a 190-day break for a new stable. Placed at Ipswich on debut last prep so might come to hand quickly. CLUSTER'S GENERAL and SIGNATURE TART raced on Saturday so will probably come out. They are 1-2 if they do race.

Two back was second last of 8 at Port Macquarie Mdn-Sw on March 11 over 1206m, slow going 9 len behind Sweet Patriot carrying 59kg at $15. Good effort to get up for second over 1010m at the same track on Saturday. Unlikely to back-up.

Three-year-old gelding (Brutal - Classy Fashion) will no doubt benefit from the four trials prior to his debut today. Was third in a Beaudesert barrier trial over 1050m on March 20. Others offer more appeal.

Third race start today. At very big odds at debut, ran last of 8 at Queanbeyan Mdn on January 24 over 900m, 17 len behind Soho Artist carrying 59kg at $81. Last start sat on the pace before fading to run last of 10 at Nowra Ctry Mdn-Sw on February 9 over 1100m, on a slow track; 16 len behind Rose Aye carrying 58.5kg at $101. Needs to show significant improvement.

Three-year-old filly (Zousain - Bold Runner) who was bought for AUD $ 7,000 (Inglis 2023 HTBA Yearling Sale). She has three recent trials prior to her debut today. Trialled on March 25 at Gold Coast over 1050m and finished fourth. Betting the key.

Recent form sound. Comes off a 35 day let-up. At the latest run came home strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 8 at Grafton 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on February 24 over 1015m, 2.25 len behind Platinum Gift with 56.5kg at $31. The start before that 4th of 12 at this track Mdn-Sw on February 14 over 1000m, slow going 5 len behind Deep Stealth with 56.5kg at $101. Should run well again and is definitely in the mix.

Was at long odds at debut, second last of 7 at Coffs Harbour Ctry Mdn-Sw on March 2 over 1000m, 8 len behind Daulton carrying 56.5kg at $31. Will take valuable race experience and fitness from the run although doubtful she can improve enough.
