Race preview

The Ballarat meeting rolls on for a competitive 1400m contest on a Good 3 track under fine weather, where the win market sees Grifter head the line of betting closely followed by Untapped, Empressive Enuff, and Lunaman. This 3UP CG&E BM66 handicap brings together an intriguing mix of seasoned campaigners and progressive types where finding value will dictate the play. The market has zeroed in on Grifter as the initial elect, but the race holds plenty of depth as the field sorts out their early positions across the track.

Looking at the form behind the market leaders, Untapped drops back to a suitable class after running behind the placegetters at Bendigo and finishing in the back half at Geelong where the run offered little chance to mount a challenge. The stable metrics and jockey placement suggest improvement here. Meanwhile, Grifter comes in fresh following a Warrnambool maiden win and a late-closing fourth at Geelong, shaping as a logical fancy for the Ciaron Maher stable with Blake Shinn in the saddle. Empressive Enuff adds tactical speed from an adverse barrier after weakening over this trip at Pakenham, though prior efforts at Cranbourne suggest minor claims if the early tempo suits.

Further down the order, Lunaman steps out for the Ciaron Maher stable resuming from a 29-week break following a jump-out placing across the ditch, adding an element of intrigue to how the backmarker handles the local conditions. Wolf Twenty One and Empressive Enuff are mapped as potential leaders, meaning tactical pressure could open the race up for runners tracking off the pace. The value sits with assessing how the fresh legs and class droppers handle the 1400m trip as the Ballarat program unfolds.

Off pace and comfortably beaten at Penola over this distance. Outside place prospect at best.

RP

C&D has proven suitable before; useful in this grade; fair effort when beaten 3½l, finishing seventh of ten at Penola 26 days ago; best of his form suggests ability; has to be respected.

Bendigo 3yo+ (Bm66) placegetter 4 Oct. Raced in back half and was never in a position to mount a serious challenge at Geelong. Drops in grade. Among the dangers.

RP

Held in sixth at Geelong over 7½f (handicap) 21 days ago; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role.

Midfield and worked home solidly at Bendigo when second-up. Sharper now, not out of this.

RP

Record shows he knows where the winning post is (wins-runs career record of 3-11); respectable display to finish fourth, beaten 2½l over 6½f at Bendigo (handicap) last month; not discounted.

First-up (24-weeks). Seasoned galloper best over longer these days. Won't want it too wet. Expect will need this.

RP

Proven that he knows how to get his head in front (seeking an eighth career win); held in seventh at Caulfield over 1m1f (handicap) in May; others more persuasive as absence is a concern.

Strong win from off the pace in the Hcp (C2) at Morphettville off extended spell as a betting firmer. Drawn to get a conservative run. Going great guns and stays as a major threat.

Got the job done in a handicap by half a length at Morphettville when dropped back to 6f two weeks ago; despite that Morphettville success, easy enough to take on.

Went close at Warrnambool 15 Oct. Closed off late from the tail at Warrnambool. Effective wet. Very fit, can make his presence felt.

Finished fourth but only beaten just over 2l over 6f at Warrnambool (handicap) two weeks ago; has been fairly consistent lately.

Fronting up for second campaign (29-weeks). First run across the ditch for the Ciaron Maher stable. 2nd in latest jump-out. Could make a positive start here.

RP

Subpar since successful in a maiden at Tauranga in January; finished fourth but only beaten just under 3l at Ellerslie over 1m2½f (Group 3) in April; returns from a break here; first start for current trainer; now drops in class but only limited appeal.

Early pace was too much for him and weakened at Pakenham over this trip. Adverse barrier tests. Can run a drum.

RP

Not beaten that far in sixth (3l) at Pakenham 12 days ago; he can be taken on.

Wore them down late at Warrnambool. Has an adverse draw. Rise to 1400m a new challenge. Just out of his maiden and facing tougher challenge here.

RP

Not fancied in the betting (50-1) when a narrow winner (Warrnambool) last month in a maiden; stepped up on his last two starts; in with a shout given that not many of these impressed last time out.

Fresh. Broke maiden at Warrnambool 21 Sep. Ran on late from the back at Geelong. Makes strong appeal.

RP

Lightly raced (this just his fifth race); fair effort (beaten just over 2l) at Geelong over 6f (handicap) last month; this only his second start in handicap company; big chance given there's a paucity of good recent form on offer in this contest and shown he can win fairly recently.

Had all before him at turn and went home tamely at Echuca for new trainer. Awkwardly drawn. Looking elsewhere.

RP

Been a while since he achieved his only career win; finished 11th of 12 over 6f at Echuca (handicap) last month on debut for this trainer; is passed over.

Odds correct as at . Odds can change.
