Ballina racing tips
—
Race 1. (13:10) NBN News Maiden (1015m)
#8 – Casino Collection @ $2.45
Casino Collection is on debut after some pleasing trials, and her odds are likely to firm considerably on race day.
The three-year-old filly by Casino Prince won a trial to prepare for her debut, and it came easily by six lengths.
Dropping to 53.5kg is enough to see her take this out.
Stake: 3 Units
Race 2. (13:50) Virtual Golf Centre Ballina Maiden (1415m)
#4 – Denuto @ $3.30
Denuto looks to turn his most recent effort around, which was an eighth at Sunshine Coast on the synthetic.
The three-year-old son of So You Think was much better when second at Grafton two back, which is a much better form guide.
Getting the inside draw should be enough to take him close.
Stake: 1.5 Units
Race 3. (14:25) Cav Security Maiden (1265m)
#2 – Colonel Parker @ $4.00
Boasting five placings from six starts is Colonel Parker, who ran second at Dalby last time out behind My Sicada.
The three-year-old gelding by Pariah meets an even field on Tuesday, and he doesn’t need to improve much to beat this field.
We expect him to be right around the mark, so put him on top.
Stake: 1 Unit
Race 4. (15:00) Paradise FM C1 (1915m)
#6 – Bonzabelter @ $6.00
Bonzabelter isn’t always the most consistent type going around, but he won well at Warwick two starts back.
The three-year-old gelding by Bon Aurum owns a win and two placings from nine starts and getting 1.5kg off his back helps.
Punters get each-way odds to enjoy.
Stake: 1 Unit
Race 5. (15:35) Lennox Hotel BM66 (1015m)
#6 – Make it So @ $2.45
Seeking three consecutive wins is Make it So, who scored at Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast to prepare for this race.
The four-year-old daughter of Spirit of Boom owns three wins from nine starts, with all three wins coming over the distance.
We expect her to be tough to beat once again, so include her in multis.
Stake: 2.5 Units
Race 6. (16:10) Tab Country Boosted BM58 (1265m)
#6 – Ferry Road @ $9.50
Ferry Road won at Lismore earlier this campaign, and although inconsistent since, he’s good enough to handle this field.
The three-year-old son of Capitalist didn’t enjoy the heavy track at Ballina last start, so any improvement in conditions helps.
At the odds, we’re happy to include him in our horse racing picks.
Stake: 1 Unit
Race 7. (16:50) Ballina RSL BM58 (1415m)
#6 – Guru Class @ $8.00
Guru Class wasn’t far off getting back to winning form when running third at Grafton, which is a good enough form guide.
The five-year-old mare is a two-time winner from 27 starts, but she has been around the mark with 13 placings.
She’s the loose $8 favourite, so there is good value in this race.
Stake: 1 Unit
