GIRL POWER AT BALLARAT ON TUESDAY

Two fillies represent the team at Ballarat on Tuesday when Play That Song and Anastazi Princess run.

Anastazi Princess is the first to go in race four, the Maiden Plate over 2000m where she will be ridden by Patrick Moloney.

Unfortunately the daughter of So You Think has drawn barrier 10 in a 10-horse field which Mike Moroney said is less than ideal.

“She’s drawn the outside which is not ideal as we really want to go forward in a race with her,” Moroney said.

“We will press forward in this race to see if that helps her rhythm and let her take her chance.

“There is some depth to the race but she should be suited by the distance which will give her a chance.”

Play That Song (pictured) runs in the following race, the Fillies & Mares Benchmark 64 Handicap over 1400m where her opposition has been reduced to five following scratchings.

The Smart Missile filly finished powerfully to win first-up at Bendigo over 1300m on February 28 and Moroney

“She’s only stepping up an extra 100m but Ballarat is a big spacious track,” Moroney said.

“Although it’s a small field there are some in the race with stakes form so it will not be easy.

“I’m not happy with jumping from barrier two as she hasn’t got a huge amount of gate speed so Patrick will earn his fee to get to the outside at the right time.

“If they do run along it will help and if they do then I think she has a great chance to win again.”
