Ballina Race 1 - Hartleys Fresh Market Ballina Fair Mdn Plate
MISS WILDCAT (8) has been in the money at her last three runs, all over today's journey. Cause wasn't helped when she jumped awkwardly at the Gold Coast last start but the final stages were strong. Brings superior form to this race and it will be a big surprise if she doesn't break through today. COMMEDIA (7) has been well back at both runs this prep and been left with far too much to do. Back a little in distance but the addition of blinkers may add that bit of spark required. YES KISS (6) is back from a year off the scene and is now in a new stable. Yet to place in 12 runs but in a race without depth a top three finish is achievable. AERIAL ARTIST (2) resumes. Has shown nothing in two runs to date but a recent gelding operation may turn things around. EXO MURANO (3) was plain on debut but can improve.

Jumped as a despised roughie at debut, ran last of 13 at Sunshine Coast Mdn on March 29 over 1000m, on a slow track; 10 len behind Naturally Lit carrying 60kg at $101. Doubt he will trouble these.

Resuming after a year in the paddock. Finished off last campaign sixth of 8 at Gosford Mid 4yo+ Mdn April 25 over 1200m, soft track; 3 len behind Dial Of Destiny carrying 54kg at $81. Previously first up; ran last of 8 at Wyong Super 4yo+ Mdn December 21 2024 over 1100m, 11 len behind Sunday Tycoon with 55kg at $151. Capable of a bold return.

Last start made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Gold Coast Mdn-Sw on April 4 over 1000m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Galavino carrying 55.5kg at $3.90. Before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 9 at Gold Coast 3yo Mdn on March 21 over 1000m, 1.0 len behind Jeans carrying 57kg at $3. Little depth here and she looks all set to open her account.
