Ballina Race 6

Lennox Hotel (Bm82)

Prize Money: $27,000

MAXIMUM VORTEX (4) mixing his form and will relish the sharp drop in grade after finishing a wilting 12th over 1200m in the LR Hinkler Quality at Eagle Farm on June 15. Much better performance two-back when a tough second in this class. Leading apprentice rides with the claim and will take holding out. TECTONIC PLATE (2) classy mare with the good record of five wins from 13 starts. Saves her best for this track and trip and kept fresh after proving too slick for her rivals over 1190m at Grafton six-and-a-half weeks ago. Has the ability to finish over the top of these from the wide gate. CASSIA LANE (6) drop in weight suits as well as the fast tempo anticipated. Warmed up late with the 61.5kg when seventh over 1205m at Grafton on June 8. Looks up to the task. LADY WARDELL (10) next best.

Useful gelding. Last start eased back early on 8th of 10 at Kempsey Wcpe Cup on June 20 over 1450m, on rain affected going; 5 len behind Rebel's Edge with 61kg at $26. The start before that ran last of 9 at Murwillumbah Open Bm89 on May 24 over 1500m, on rain affected going; 13 len behind Avenue Of Stars with 58kg at $26. Capable of a big finish so don't write him off.

At the latest raced on the pace before fading to run last of 12 at Eagle Farm in the LR Hinkler on June 15 over 1200m, 6 len behind Willinga Beast with 54kg at $101. The run before that led but faded 2nd of 15 at Grafton Bm82 on May 16 over 1190m, slow going 2 len behind Tectonic Plate carrying 58kg at $3.80. Well-placed to atone.

At the latest run 3rd of 11 at Coffs Harbour Bm82 on June 14 over 1315m, on rain affected going; 3.5 len behind Butch'n'bugs carrying 55kg at $14. The race before that got back early 6th of 11 at Ipswich Bm62 on May 30 over 1350m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Casrock with 57kg at $6. Racing okay but look elsewhere.
