Ballarat Race 2

Brandt Mdn Plate

Prize Money: $37,500

NEBUCHADNEZZAR (12) has run second in both runs to date, either side of a spell. He was good on debut in New Zealand and then ran well as a short-priced favourite at Swan Hill first-up. He maps ideally from the gate and will be very hard to catch. JOON HO (4) resumes. He's placed in all five starts to date including two second placings at both runs last time in. Was in the market on both occasions there and won't need to improve much at all to be winning here. HOT WINGS (9) is a filly by Derryn on debut for the Hayes yard. He's shown ability at the jump outs and must be respected. BENRIACH (1) next best.

Third race start today. When well in the market at debut, struggled in the run home; second last of 8 at Bendigo Mdn-Sw on June 4 over 1100m, on a slow track; 11 len behind Reserve Bank with 59.5kg at $4. Second-up came home strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 13 at Seymour Mdn-Sw on June 16 over 1000m, slow going 0.5 len behind Shalimar Moon carrying 59.5kg at $8. Genuine contender in this suitable contest.

Is first-up after a break of six months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last preparation with blinkers first time; second of 7 at Mornington Mdn-Sw January 7 over 1200m, soft track; 0.5 len behind Hello World carrying 59.5kg at $2.80. Previously first up; second in a small field at Bendigo Mdn-Sw December 17 over 1100m, a neck behind Yongtai carrying 59.5kg at $1.80. Rates highly and can get off the mark.

Second run from a spell raced on the pace before fading ran last of 10 at this track Mdn-Sw on May 12 over 1400m, slow going 13 len behind Governor King with 59.5kg at $101.
