Ballina Race 4 - Ballina Rsl Mdn Plate
BRING ME SAKI (19) lightly raced gelding capable of shedding his maiden status in this easier contest. Returns from a let-up and now in the Stephen Lee yard. Faded late when sixth over 1350m at Doomben on January 22. Big improver over this trip. RAINBOW LASS (13) beaten for early speed before chipping away late when a poor seventh as $1.90 fav over 1100m at Grafton. Expected to bounce back quickly and will need a good ride from the gate. KIRRA'S SISTER (12) resumes from a lengthy break. Has performed well when fresh in the past and since fitted with a Grafton trial over 955m. Should be right in this. RUM RUMBLE (9) lightly raced gelding resuming after failing to deliver in his first prep. Tuned up with a searching 1050m trial at the Gold Coast. Worth thought.

Dual acceptor. Returns from a 53-day let-up. Last start 9th of 12 at this track Mdn-Sw on February 14 over 1000m, on a slow track; 9 len behind Deep Stealth with 59kg at $11. Before that set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 8 at Gold Coast Poly 4yo+ Mdn-Sw on February 1 over 1050m, 2.5 len behind Throwin Shade with 56kg at $8.50. Goes well at today's journey and is capable of turning things around.

Three-year-old gelding (Brutal - Classy Fashion) will no doubt benefit from the four trials leading in today's debut. Was third in a Beaudesert trial over 1050m on March 20. Happy to risk without a significant market move.

At the latest run 2nd of 10 at Ipswich 3yo Mdn on March 21 over 800m, slow going 1.5 len behind Bold Tee carrying 54kg at $9.50. The start before that 3rd in a small field at Lismore Ctry Mdn-Sw on February 22 over 1110m, slow going 4 len behind Hacking carrying 56.5kg at $18. Hard to recommend from the gate.
