Betsy's Best - Ballarat

This meeting has been completely reshaped with the transfer from Bendigo to Ballarat’s synthetic track.
The surface has produced heavy kickback throughout winter, so the key will be avoiding it - either by racing on-speed or getting into clear air out wide. One possible saving grace: the track tends to play fairer with some rainfall, so fingers crossed for a touch of moisture today.

Race 4 – Rang A Round Up
I was on him at Sale and rewatching the replay was painful - he should have won. He hung out badly from the 800m and went to the line virtually untested, still managing to finish a close second. He’s since been back to the jump-outs and, importantly, gets a senior jockey on today. This is a very weak race. Expect him to jump, lead, control the tempo, and put them away in the straight.
