Ballarat Synthetic Race 5 - Manhari (Bm66)
LAVANDULA (3) wasn't far away first up at Caulfield Heath in a stronger race despite finishing seventh and comes back in grade here. Beautifully placed and will be very hard to hold out with in form Billy Egan booked. FOREMMAKATE (4) is a promising type who scored at her last run before a break five months ago over 1200m at Murray Bridge. She's won a trial leading in, respecting the yard to bring her here fresh. MAFEE (5) was in contention on the turn and finished second last time over 1100m at Geelong, beaten a neck. He's knocking on the door and gets every hope from a soft gate, go close. EL PIBE DE ORO (2) was off a break at Caulfield and got home quite well. He loves this track having never missed the quinella in four starts and will be very hard to hold out late.
