Ballarat Synthetic Race 3 - Brandt Mdn Plate
ORCHID SKY (11) is a three start maiden who wound up strongly over the sharp dash at Swan Hill when fresh from a break. Has since won a trial here and expected to go close. FILIGREE SHADOW (7) was well fancied on debut and ran well enough, finishing fourth on the turf here when boxed on well. Expected to come on from that. ROYAL HERITAGE (4) showed ability in two runs in first campaign. Fitter for two jump-outs, both here, and looks set for a sharp run fresh. SHALASSA (12) was in the market on debut and was solid when fifth in the same race as ORCHID SKY. Nice debut and sure to play a major role. NOT GUILTY (3) was fair here last time after a poor getaway and can improve sharply.
