Bronte Nieuwenburg has done the form for Ballarat’s eight-race card tonight.
R1 – 6.00pm – Dgs Accounting Pace – 2200m
1 – Sassyola
12 – Maxy Can Dance
6 – James Garner
7 – Montana Pride
Sassyola has the ace barrier here. The last time she drew barrier one was in April, and she won on that occasion. She should have enough gate speed to hold a forward position, and she is racing well enough to win if she’s near the top of the field.
BACK: 1 Sassyola – 2 units (win)
R2 – 6.32pm – Pfg Australia Trot – 2200m
12 – Just Abit Dusty
9 – Boutika
6 – Jessicas Story
11 – Manda Kyvalley
R3 – 6.59pm – Jellis Craig Ballarat 2yo Trot – 2200m
9 – Vance Lane
2 – Life On The Hill
7 – Zoolu
1 – Whoshotthepieman
Vance Lane is a trotter with a lot of ability when he does everything right. He’s raced in arguably much harder fields than this throughout his career, as shown by his personal sectional times, which are significantly stronger than the exposed form in this race. His manners are the biggest concern, but barrier nine should give him space to settle early.
BACK: 9 Vance Lane – 2 units (win)
R4 – 7.36pm – Millers Construction Trot
4 – Charleston Avenue
3 – Paris Jamilla
10 – No Telling Heather
2 – Emmwallen
R5 – 8.06pm – Bomitali Construction Trot – 2200m
4 – Preferred Love
5 – Mac Flick
3 – Majestic Tooth
10 – Tictok
Preferred Love is a mare prepared by brilliant trotting trainer Chris Svanosio. She has been ultra-consistent recently, placing in her last four starts. If she can find some luck and get forward here, she is a very strong winning chance.
BACK: 4 Preferred Love – 2 units (win)
R6 – 8.36pm – Mds Accounting Vicbred Voucher Maiden Pace – 2200m
2 – Obsydian
6 – Im The Wild One
3 – Metro Bliss
9 – Riddlemethis
Obsydian looks set to find a good race for his maiden victory here. He should secure a forward position from barrier two and has good gate speed. With in-form driver Luke Dunne aboard, if he finds luck, this could be his race to break through with his first win.
BACK: 2 Obydian – 2 units (win)
R7 – 9.06pm – Podium Money Pace
5 – Golden Tribe
6 – The Steel Dragon
7 – Captain Wilson
4 – Delightful Charm
Golden Tribe is first-up here, but he’s an exciting and progressive horse with plenty of ability. It’s not an easy task from barrier five in a quality field, but he certainly has the talent to win.
BACK: 5 Golden Tribe – 2 units (win)
R8 – 9.36pm – Colliers Ballarat Nmw Pace (2nd Heat) – 2200m
4 – Roseberg
9 – Bizzness Class
6 – Ranger Rick
8 – Dance Affair
QUADDIE (5-8)
3, 4, 5, 10
2, 3, 6, 9
