The HDR stable has two runners today in MIDNIGHT VAGRANT and VALENTINO’S ON at Ballarat Synthetic.
Ballarat Synthetic
Race 3 (2:00 pm) Global Turf Three-Years-Old Maiden Plate 1500m
No.14 MIDNIGHT VAGRANT- Mitch Aitken (Barrier 12)
MIDNIGHT VAGRANT (12) heads to Ballarat on Tuesday where he will contest a 1500m maiden (Race 3, 2.00pm). He has drawn gate twelve and Mitch Aitken will ride.
MIDNIGHT VAGRANT kicks off his preparation this time out on the synthetic in a not to strong race. Coming into this off the back of a minor operation on his throat, we will be looking more so to see how his breathing goes. He is fit enough coming into this and will be wanting further in the future.(Stable)
TAB WIN Fixed Odds – $19 (as at 11am)
Race 6 (3:30 pm) Hygain Winners Choice BM58 Handicap 1500m
No.3 VALENTINO’S ON- Mitch Aitken (Barrier 1)
VALENTINO’S ON (1) heads to Ballarat on Tuesday where she will contest an 1500m BM58 (Race 6, 3.30pm). She has drawn gate one and Mitch Aitken will ride.
VALENTINO’S ON returns to the Ballarat Synthetic again after being caught wide the trip last start. She since has had a jumpout at St Arnuad, where she was strong through the line. From the gate there isn’t a lot of speed around her so she should be able to land on the pace and that will be the place to be with the Ballarat Synthetic providing a lot of kickback for the back markers and not allowing them to run on as such. Shes certainly ready to win and today looks like the day.(Stable)
