Ballarat Synthetic Race 1 - Brandt Mdn Plate
ALWAYS FREE (4) is a two-start maiden who looks close to a win after placing at both runs, the latest when third over 1614m at Moe. Has early pace and is expected to go close again. NOTIFIED (12) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1200m at this track. Has upside and the extra trip is a plus. Can get off the mark this time. EGERTON REEF (2) has had a few tries but first look here last time led until the final few hops and was grabbed late. Can give a sight again. JUST SWIFT (9) has recorded back-to-back fourths. Solid top-three chance with a repeat of that latest performance. EYE TRACKER (7) is fitter for two runs back from a break. Turned in a better effort last time when fifth over 1600m at Pakenham Synthetic. Don't underestimate.
