Ballarat Racing Tips for Wednesday, November 11th 2026

First race in 14h 6m

It’s twilight racing at Ballarat on Wednesday, and there are some good bets throughout the Victorian card. There have already been a lot of big betting moves for runners from the top stables, and punters have opened their wallets on what is a Group 1 week in Melbourne.

Race 1. (15:40) Power FM Maiden (1400m)

#4 - Bogey Free @ $2.45

BET NOW

Bogey Free was only narrowly beaten on debut at Warrnambool by a nose, and he’s best backed to go one better here.

The three-year-old son of El Roca opened at $2.90 before firming into his current price, and that’s a solid move in the opening race.

Blake Shinn riding helps, and he only needs to find cover from a wide draw.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 2. (16:15) Evergreen Turf C1 (1000m)

#7 - Lucifer's Girl @ $4.00

BET NOW

Looking to remain unbeaten is Lucifer’s Girl, who couldn’t have been more impressive when winning at Penola on debut by 7.8 lengths.

The quality of that field wasn’t strong, but the three-year-old filly was far too good, and she has every chance of winning again.

Money has come for her, so take the $4 before it shortens.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (16:50) Manhari BM64 (1100m)

#1 - Harry Met Sally @ $9.00

BET NOW

Punters get value odds for Harry Met Sally, who owns a win and two placings from five starts.

The Mark Walker-trained gelding won at Ballarat two back before placing at Sandown last start, and he could resume from a spell with a win.

Shinn rides, so we’re taking the current odds.

Stake: 1 Units

Race 4. (17:25) Hygain Edge BM66 (1400m)

#2 - Ladhar @ $3.80

BET NOW

The three-year-old filly by Exceed and Excel looked good when winning two back at Geelong before taking on tough opposition at Flemington.

She finished seventh behind Caddington in a tough listed race, so we’re expecting a better effort against BM66 opposition.

It’s another premium ride for Shinn, and he could have a big day.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 5. (18:00) Brandt Emerging Stars Maiden (1200m)

#7 - De Niro @ $3.80

BET NOW

We’re looking at De Niro as the best winning chance in this race, and the three-year-old gelding is bred to be good.

He’s out of I Am Invincible x. Eleonora, so the breeding is there, and after opening at $5.50, there has been a lot of money for him.

Barrier two is ideal, so he’ll get every chance to make a winning start.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (18:30) Hygain Edge BM66 (1400m)

#5 - Trebilco @ $6.50

BET NOW

Team Hawkes lines up Trebilco, who kicked off this preparation with a win at Morphettville, which is a tidy form guide.

The five-year-old son of Exceedance owns two wins and two placings from nine starts, including a placing at Ballarat, so having experience here helps.

He gets all favours off the inside draw, so include him at value odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 7. (19:00) Sportsbet Jockey Watch BM62 (1600m)

#7 - Aubaine @ $5.00

BET NOW

Aubaine is running well this preparation with a win and three placings, and he is good enough to handle this level of opposition.

The four-year-old son of Prague won at Ballarat Synthetic three back before running at Moe and then placing at Kyneton last start.

It’s a solid form guide, and the each-way odds are worth taking.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 8. (19:30) Ule Hoof Oil BM62 (1200m)

#2 - Deadly Force @ $3.30

BET NOW

Shooting for back-to-back wins is Deadly Force, who showed toughness to score narrowly at Mornington last time out.

The five-year-old son of Exceed and Excel paid only $1.75, so the odds were short, and punters get a better price here.

Barrier 11 isn’t ideal, but it’s another good ride for Shinn.

Stake: 1 Unit
