Top pick on form. A 2yo filly dropping from a Flemington G3 with a recent sharp trial and winkers added, she draws to land handy on a likely moderate tempo. Clearly the most likely winner.

2nd pickWon
2Pull My Finger
Ultra-consistent and brings the most reliable recent C&D reference with a solid last 600m, plus proven synthetic handling. He should camp midfield and get his chance. The knock is the non-winning profile after many tries, so he’s more trustworthy for a placing than a win in a tactical 1000m.
3rd pick2nd
8Lady In Red
Genuine knockout for the minors with proven Ballarat Synthetic form and a soft rail draw in an early race that rewards map.
Value pick9th
13Diamond Storm
Speculative value play. Not in the primary top three on reliability, yet a worthwhile small-stakes overlay if he lands a spot.

5Fake Fiction
Maps to control a race with only one genuine leader identified, a notable edge early on the Ballarat synthetic. If she secures a cheap mid-race, she can kick clear and prove hard to run down.
2nd pick3rd
10Tennessee Lights
Gate 7 should have her parked midfield with cover behind a moderate speed, ideal for building momentum from the 600m at Ballarat Synthetic. She’s fitter third-up and trending the right way. Main danger to the leader if she lands within range and produces the same late strength.

5Flying Capital
The synthetic profile is positive and the 1500m run says he can sustain from the 600m. Minor knocks are that he’s yet to win and the rider’s recent numbers, but the setup suits.
2nd pick5th
1Boulderoo
Hard-fit and holding form, Boulderoo brings a synthetic placing and a recent narrow mile second that suggests 1500m is ideal. From gate 11 he can press forward to land in the first four, which is valuable at Ballarat Synthetic.
999th pickScratched
12Lancetta
Lancetta produced a close third at this track/trip in a solid time and should improve second up for the in-form Maher/Bates team. The setup is right, but barrier 15 is a clear tactical negative early on a program where map advantages usually hold.
Value pick3rd
4Etched In Blue
Speed/map horse who ran a close second on this surface recently and should settle in the first pair. The moderate tempo profile enhances his chance to pinch breaks before the long straight.

★ Top pick3rd
1Convaaya
Convaaya brings the strongest staying profile for this Ballarat Synthetic maiden. He drops sharply in grade after contesting an Open 2500m and previously ran a close 2nd over 2100m here. With a slow tempo likely, his ability to race handier is a key edge on this track. Fitness is solid and his synthetic run style suits the circuit’s sustained finish. Despite the wide draw, he can roll forward, control his rhythm and give a strong kick.
2nd pickWon
8Wolfoffitroystreet
The step to 2200m looks a natural progression on pedigree, and he maps in the first half. He’s a key winning chance on class and upside, but the setup carries unknowns compared with the top pick.
3rd pick6th
3Kovu
Kovu has genuine synthetic credentials with a recent 2100m second at this track and carries the minimum weight. The main query is the likely slow tempo which may force him to build wide from the 600m. With an uninterrupted run, he’s a strong place/each-way threat.
Value pickScratched

★ Top pick2nd
1Ahab
He’s the form horse for this setup. Fresh off a strong 2nd in a tougher BM66 at this track/trip range, Ahab brings the right synthetic profile, tactical speed, and fitness. The map suits a slow tempo, allowing him to control or sit handy and build from the 600m.
2nd pick3rd
5Eight Under
Eight Under profiles well second-up at the trip on the synthetic. From gate 3 he should camp in the first half and build momentum from the 600m, a proven Ballarat Synthetic winning pattern. Not the most reliable winner, but his set-up screams each-way appeal.
3rd pickWon
4Bismarck
Bismarck looks ready to improve sharply second-up up to 2200m. From gate 5 he can settle midfield with cover, blend into the race from the 600m and sustain a run. Still lightly accomplished, but the map and historical Ballarat synthetic form are compelling.

Rock-solid synthetic specialist with a superb track-and-trip profile and three consecutive wins, the latest in stronger BM62. From barrier 2 he should land just behind the expected hot speed and launch late, which suits Ballarat Synthetic’s long straight. Despite a small weight rise, the marked class suitability and ideal map make him the most likely winner.
2nd pickWon
5Rosangela
Main reservations are synthetic unknown and a likely on-speed position into a hot tempo that could soften leaders. Still, class and rider should carry her a long way, making her a prime place chance and clear threat.
3rd pick3rd
7Moaksun
Well set up to run on strongly with a substantial class drop and a soft map from gate 1. The knock is a poor winning profile at 1000m and potential traffic. With the expected very fast tempo he’s a strong each‑way/placing hope who can blouse many late.
Value pick10th
2Frose
She returns off a break but is a noted Ballarat Synthetic 1000m performer and drops sharply in grade. From gate 4 she can land just behind the hot speed and use her course know‑how late. Fitness and the pressure up front are the risks, but profile and venue affinity make her a worthwhile value play.

1Masked Marauder
Huge class relief after a close BM70 synthetic placing makes him a major threat. Barrier 4 should allow a handy spot without working, and he profiles to improve second up stretching to 1200m, a trip he handles. The weight is a query, but the drop in grade and recent Ballarat synthetic run are strong positives in a race lacking a genuine leader.
3rd pickWon

Aka Daka arrives off a narrow second at this track/trip/grade and profiles to stalk a strong speed and sustain a long run.

Weight is a slight negative, yet the last-start reference at this exact setup keeps him firmly in the finish.

4Quello Dorato
With a likely moderate tempo, he can land on speed and build momentum into the long straight.
2nd pick3rd
7Swycho
Genuine threat on a steep class drop. With a moderate tempo expected, she can settle handy and sustain a run. Weight rises to 60kg and synthetic record is limited, but this grade brings her right into the finish. Attractive each-way.
3rd pick7th
10Wild Ruby
Class relief helps, and she maps forward, but barrier 15 risks covering extra ground and she’s light on wins.
Value pick10th
6Forest Jim
Forgive the heavy-track miss first-up. Worth a small each-way as an overlay.
