SYNTHETIC TRACK RUNNERS FOR US ON TUESDAY

Two runners for us today on the synthetic surface at Ballarat in Bellows and Bill The Bee.

Bill The Bee (pictured) is the first to go in race eight, the Benchmark 58 Handicap over 1500m with Billy Egan in the saddle and jumping from barrier one.

Bill The Bee has disappointed Mike Moroney with his efforts in two starts this preparation however, the trainer has made a gear change for today’s race.

“We’ve put blinkers on him and provided he jumps on terms than he should be able to settle on speed,” Moroney said.

“We’ve kept a senior rider on him - he’s down in class but he’s a big strong horse who should be able carry the weight.

“He’s been working well and I’m hoping he can turn his form around today.

Bellows runs in race nine, the Benchmark 58 Handicap over 1500m with Billy Egan riding.

Bellows won well on the synthetic surface at Pakenham two starts back and last time out at Moonee Valley had no luck when forced to race wide.

“He’s come through his last run in great order and I can’t fault him,” Moroney said.

“He had a tough run last time through no-ones fault but he’s bounced off that and provided he gets a reasonable run today from the barrier I think he will be hard to beat.”
