Ballarat Racing Tips for Sunday, May 24th 2026

We have expert betting tips for racing at Ballarat on Sunday, which includes eight races at the weekend meeting.

Punters get good value odds for the Victorian meeting, and we have betting tips for every race on the card.

Race 1. (12:25) James Vav Solutions Maiden (1000m)

#9 – Mountjoy

BET NOW

Henry Dwyer lines up Mountjoy, who could make a winning debut after showing solid form at the jumpouts.

The two-year-old filly by Street Boss has good breeding, and she should get all favours in the run from barrier four.

The market will be telling, but she should have supporters.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 2. (13:00) Manhari Maiden (1000m)

#8 – Immortal Truth

BET NOW

Immortal Truth didn’t fire at Mornington last time out, but we’re happy to forgive that run and stick with the three-year-old filly.

She looked better when placing at Yarra Valley and Swan Hill, with both races being solid form guides for this maiden affair.

She’s in good hands with Lindsay Park, so include her in picks.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (13:35) Tobin Brothers Funerals Maiden (1500m)

#1 – Best Terms

BET NOW

Best Terms keeps running well without winning, but we’re happy to include him in our horse racing picks.

The three-year-old gelding went close at Werribee last time out when running second, and there appears to be less depth in this race.

A strong rider with John Allen helps, and this could be his day to exit maidens.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 4. (14:10) The Haymarket Maiden (1400m)

#7 – My Shalona

BET NOW

My Shalona has improved with every start, culminating in a fourth at Warrnambool last time out in a tough race.

The three-year-old filly by Shalaa looked to have needed a few runs under her belt, and she should be at peak fitness now.

Dean Yendall rides, and he could have a good day.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 5. (14:45) CVLX Miners Rest Community Cup BM66 (2024m)

#10 – High Tempo

BET NOW

Consistecy is with High Tempo, who owns three wins and four placings from 12 starts, including a second placing at her only start at Ballarat.

The five-year-old mare won at Sale three back before placing and then running fourth at Warrnambool behind Like a Tiger, who has since run well midweek.

She should be right in the mix against an even field.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 6. (15:15) Hygain Edge BM62 (1200m)

#4 – Jamesjohno

BET NOW

Jamesjohno should have more than one win on his record, but he has been good with five placings from eight starts.

The Archie Alexander-trained gelding ended last prep with a placing at Sandown, so that form bodes well for racing at Ballarat on a Sunday.

He could hit the ground running and pay off loyal punters.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 7. (15:50) Sportsbet Blackbook BM62 (1000m)

#9 – Done Leavy

BET NOW

Seeking back-to-back wins is Done Leavy, who was too good for them at Ballarat start when winning by a half-length.

The form behind her hasn’t stacked up all that well, but she was the best in that race, and her confidence levels are up.

The surface won’t worry her, so she is worth including in picks.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 8. (16:25) Hygain Edge BM62 (1500m)

#9 – License to Excite

BET NOW

Gunning for three consecutive wins is License to Excite, who scored at Kerang before adding a win at Kyneton last start.

The three-year-old filly meets more depth in this field, but she’s not doing much wrong, and barrier three will give her every chance in the run.

Look for each-way odds on race day.

Stake: 1 Unit
