The return of Mach Dan will be a winning one according to Harness Racing Victoria tipsters Jason Bonnington and Nikkita Ross, who expect Emma Stewart’s gun four-year-old to take out the TAB Gammalite Free For All on Saturday.
Ross has even made the gelding her best bet of the Ballarat card, with $2 available through the TAB on Friday afternoon.
Mach Dan won both the Horsham and Mildura cups during his last campaign and will head to Bray Raceway for his first start since running third to Expensive Ego in the Group 1 Australian Pacing Gold 4YO Entires and Geldings Final on May 1.
Bonnington’s best comes up in the Alabar Vicbred Pace, where he likes the chances of Russell Jack-trained Spring In His Step.
Dan Mielicki will call all of the action for Trots Vision and reckons Lance Justice has found the key to his talented pacer Sew What.
Mielicki has marked the mare as his best of the evening, with $5.50 still available for her to win the last race of the night, the Catanach’s Jewellers Pace.
Tim O’Connor and injured trainer-driver David Miles will host Saturday night’s Trots Vision coverage, with the first of 10 races to kick-off just after 5.30pm.
