Ballarat Synthetic Racing Tips for Monday, August 31st 2026

We have expert betting tips for racing at Ballarat Synthetic on Monday, which includes nine races at the quality meeting.

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

Punters get each-way odds for Foofaraw, who is on debut for Matthew Cumani following some good jumpouts.

The three-year-old colt by Nicconi won two jumpouts in preparation for this race, and although there is a short-priced favourite here, he could win.

We’re happy to include him as a value bet.

Stake: 1 Unit

Ottalaus is better for two runs under his belt this preparation, including a second placing at Ballarat last time out.

The four-year-old son of Anders finished under a length behind Lady in Red, and slight improvement should be enough to win.

The each-way odds appeal, so he’s worth including in picks.

Stake: 1 Unit

Punters get good odds for Liquid Asset, who ran sixth on debut at Pakenham Synthetic before running fifth last time out.

The three-year-old son of Tassort is on the improve, and having an in-form John Allen riding helps his chances of winning.

The odds are generous, so he’s another good each-way bet.  

Stake: 1 Unit

Looking to go one better than her last start second placing at Geelong is Alabama Dance, who shouldn’t take long to break maidens.

The three-year-old filly by Alabama Express was a short margin behind the winner, so she went down fighting.

Barrier three with 55kg on her back takes her close.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Love Symbol wasn’t far away when running second at this track last time out, and she could go one better.

The five-year-old mare by Savabeel owns a win and seven placings throughout her career, and her second win isn’t far away.

We’re happy to include her in picks at $5

Stake: 1 Unit

Running well this preparation is Thinking Sensation, who won at Coleraine before placing at Ballarat Synthetic last time out.

The five-year-old gelding by So You Think owns two placings from two starts at the track, and his first win here is coming.

We expect another top effort, so the $4.80 price is good.

Stake: 1 Unit

Punters get each-way odds for Maketime, who won well on debut at Wangaratta before rising in class and running at Flemington.

The four-year-old son of Maurice was no match behind Flying Done, but he should be better with the spell and experience under his belt.

He could return to his best at this level, so take the odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Looking for back-to-back wins is Wicked Storm, who scored at Mildura last time out by just under a half-length.

The four-year-old mare by Omaha Beach has yet to run on synthetic surfaces, but she owns three wins from nine starts, so she has upside.

We expect another tidy run at nice odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

You only live once, so punters might as well back Yolo to win, who is good enough to put this field away.

The Ciaron Maher-trained gelding owns two wins and three placings, and he took on tough company early in his career.

Weight comes off his back, which should take him close.

Stake: 1 Unit
