Ballina Race 4 - Ballina Cup On January 15 Mdn Hcp
MARINER MISS (11) is resuming from a spell. Recent trial winner at Sunshine Coast Inner Track. Opened last campaign with a second at Donald over 1000m. Brings in easily the most experience. Gear changes abound too. Key runner. SPIRIT OF ASIA (9) is nicely bred but could want more ground in time. At least she won a trial suggesting some intent from the go here. Can make an immediate impact. PRESTIGE SOTIRIO (3) gained some confidence in his trial. Certainly should have some speed and can give this a shake on debut. TIME HAS COME (7) resumes after a spell of three-and-a-half months. Form in the maiden campaign was unimpressive, the latest effort a sixth over 1200m at Grafton. May surprise.

Facing the starter for the first time. Three-year-old filly by Palace Pier out of Sienna Lady AUD $ 30,000 (Inglis 2025 2025 Premier Yearling Sale) purchase. At the most recent trial was out of the placings over 940m at Grafton July 19. Likely to need the run.

Three-year-old filly making debut by Captivant out of Sangita. Won a barrier trial over 1010m at Lismore on October 18. Shapes as a leading prospect.
