Ballina Race 4 - Ballina Fair (Bm50)
Tough. COSMIC FORTUNE (7) started at $7 last time and ran below expectations at Grafton over 1006m in stronger. Came from the back winning this grade at Murwillumbah prior and gets in well with the 2kg claim. She can bounce back. ASTERN VILLA (9) has been within range all three runs this preparation, including in a Cl2 over 1200m at the Sunshine Coast. Has a 2kg claim and is well placed in this lineup. FAYETTA (4) is a former Victorian who has had two starts this prep for the new stable both in much tougher company. Has the tongue tie on again and her best form stacks up. PROPONENT (2) resumes and would be around the mark if presented forward this time around. KICKAMUSHU (11) hasn't been far away twice at Coffs Harbour since transferring from a NSW stable.

Resuming after a three months break. Not seen since he finished last of 10 at Dalby Cl3-Sw December 11 over 1400m, 29 len behind Gidday Gidday with 60kg at $61. On debut second last in a small field at Hawkesbury Super 3yo Mdn February 12 2025 over 1100m, soft track; 13 len behind Boomtown Chat carrying 59kg at $151. Don't dismiss lightly.

At the latest run eased back early on 5th of 7 at Grafton Ctry Bm58 on February 19 over 1006m, 5.5 len behind Dividends Paid with 55kg at $7. The run before that came home strongly from last on the turn and won by a nose at Murwillumbah Bm50 January 24 over 1013m on a rain affected track defeating Shelly's Ace with 57.5kg at $3.50. She can bounce back in this lineup.

Second-up. First-up after two months 8th of 10 at Coffs Harbour Cg&E Bm58 on February 15 over 1000m, on rain affected going; 6 len behind Love Rat carrying 55kg at $41. Previously second-up 2nd of 13 at Grafton Bm50 on June 8 2024 over 1205m, on a slow track; nose behind Bad Boy Darby carrying 62.5kg at $16. Might find this a bit too tough.
