Poiema was an eye-catching second here at Ballarat when resuming and looks well placed to go one better this afternoon.
Poiema stepped out exclusively in metro company during her brief debut prep and was far from disgraced in a couple of good races, while her resuming effort this time hinted at improvement.
She strips fitter and with even luck, I don’t think she’ll be offered a better opportunity to break her maiden.
Lawbreaker is another galloper that is ready to break her maiden at Ballarat today.
The Winning Rupert mare has continued to improve with each start back this time, culminating in consecutive second placings on the synthetic here most recently.
She steps out today in peak order and won’t have any excuses.
Port Louis finally recorded an elusive win in his first start back this time, and with the monkey off his back, he can continue his rise through the grades at Ballarat today.
The son of Maurice hasn’t been out of his depth in black type company since debuting, but a win continued to elude him during his recent preps.
He saluted as a short-priced favourite at Murtoa first-up this time, and while he will be charged with carrying a heavy topweight today, I still think that he will be winning.
I thought that Sea Princess looked over the odds in betting for the last at Ballarat today ($8 at publish).
Sea Princess did finished down the order in a tougher Saturday race at Morphettville last time out, but her form prior to that was excellent, and included a dominant win at Murtoa two back.
This drop back in class is perfect and we can have an each-way play at the price.
