Ballarat racing tips
—
Zinovation has been backed and beaten this preparation, but we’re happy to include him in picks once again.
The Price/Kent-trained three-year-old son of Tarzino owns three placings from five starts, so he’s nearing a breakthrough performance.
Getting the inside draw adds to his appeal.
Stake: 2 Units
Navy Nina ran second on debut at Seymour before running well enough for fourth at Geelong last time out, which is a solid enough form guide.
The three-year-old filly by Proisir pulled up lame last time out, so there were excuses for not winning, and she’s worth sticking with.
Having Blake Shinn riding adds to her appeal.
Stake: 2 Units
Most of the money has come for the odds-on favourite, but we’re including Above Me in our horse racing tips.
The three-year-old filly cost $575,000 at the sales, and the well-bred daughter of Zoustar could get connections some of that money back on Thursday.
Her jumpouts have been good, so we’re surprised by the odds.
Stake: 1 Unit
The three-year-old son of Capitalist has looked good at the trials, including a last-start win at Warrnambool.
He started his career in Sydney before coming to Victoria, and the switch could be enough to see him win on debut.
Money has come for him after opening at $6.50, which is a good sign.
Stake: 1 Unit
Dyer is better than what he showed last time out when fourth at Morphettville, and coming back to Victoria could help his cause.
The three-year-old son of Zousain runs his best races on good tracks, but he shouldn’t mind running in soft conditions.
Getting the inside draw and 2kg off his back is enough to take him close.
Stake: 1 Unit
Value odds are with The Mount, who will need luck from out wide, but he’s good enough to go close with cover.
The four-year-old son of Bel Esprit owns a win and two placings from five starts, including a placing fresh up at Horsham.
It’s not a hard field, so include him at the double-figure odds.
Stake: 1 Unit
Seeking consecutive wins is Fisherman’s Beach, who won at Cranbourne last time out in fine fashion.
The former Irish-trained runner relished the rise in trip after winning by 2.5 lengths, and a repeat of that performance could be on the cards.
Take the $2.80 odds before money comes for it late.
Stake: 2.5 Units
Kira runs at each-way odds after notching five consecutive placings, and the four-year-old is due a winning performance.
The daughter of Lonhro didn’t mind the wet track at Bendigo last start, so getting on improved conditions could be enough to see her winning form return.
We’re happy with the each-way odds available.
Stake: 1.5 Units
Looking to go one better than last start is Our Lone Star, who ran second at Bendigo in heavy conditions.
The seven-year-old son of Magnus owns a win and a placing from four starts at Ballarat, so getting back to this track is ideal.
The odds make him a worthwhile wager in an even field.
Stake: 1 Unit
