In depth
Verdict
Not the strongest of maidens, but Ballinger Ridge has shown more than enough to suggest this is well within his range. This drop in trip should pose no problems and he is taken to prove too strong for Tunstall. The latter has had plenty of chances including when blinkered and while this will not take much winning, you couldn't guarentee him putting his best foot forward. Dexterity, out of a winning mare, is started off at a lowly level and wouldn't have to be anything special to make a winning debut.
