Ballarat Race 6

Ballarat Mower Centre 4Yo & Older Maiden Trot

Stake: $6,600

BLUE SKYE ALM (6) is improving with each outing and put the writing on the wall when third at her latest appearance at Geelong. Looks to have her hoof on the till and rates as a strong winning hope in a suitable assignment. LADY SUSPICIOUS (5) added to a series of top-four finishes when she chased along the sprint lane at her latest appearance at Hamilton, beaten 6 metres. Leading hope. MUSCLE MEMORY (4) tackled the rich Nutrien sales race in her only start back in August 2023 and broke. Has had a long time off but was readied with a solid trial so keep safe. WISPERING TILLY (7) is in the mix following a fourth from this barrier at her most recent appearance at Geelong.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind Sky Spirit at Bendigo over 2150m in a MAIDEN on March 12 at $81. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after showing early speed, behind Beautiful Sunrise at Bendigo over 1650m in a NR up to 42 on March 19 at $71. Can be thereabouts.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after showing early speed, behind Sky Spirit at Bendigo over 2150m in a MAIDEN on March 12 at $16. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Rockinwithstyle at Geelong over 1609m in a MAIDEN on March 21 at $14. Big chance to find the winners' list.
