Ballarat Synthetic Race 1 - Mortimer Petroleum Mdn Plate
RISING NINE TOP (4) resumes for his second campaign having been pitched up in a couple of decent races last time in, sixth on debut before an even effort in town behind the talented Blind Raise. This doesn't look as strong and he should be better this time around. LEPOLO (3) is a colt by Written Tycoon on debut for the McEvoy yard. His trials have been okay but the stable are always very good with newcomers here and he should be ready to go. TIGER FOX (5) ran fifth on resumption here in a solid effort. Fitter now and should take some catching. CORRETTO (1) was just fair on debut but could be a sharp improver away from heavy ground. DON'TDOUBTDAGOOSE (7) next best on debut.
