Thursday night best bets & punting strategy at Ballarat (17/10)
By Bronte Nieuwenburg
Bronte Nieuwenburg has outlined her selections and suggested game plan for tonight's ten-race card at Ballarat.
See her best below, courtesy of Harness Racing Victoria.
R1 – 6.00pm – 2construct Pace – 1720m
6 – Carramar Olam
9 – Nosweetsforyou
7 – Heavenly Brigade Nz
2 – Shallow Beach
Carramar Olam recent personal times have been fantastic. He is racing in an open bridle with a pre-race warm up here. This change may result in a changed performance. He is a great winning chance.
BACK: 6 Carramar Olam – 2 units (win)
R2 – 6.32pm – Accuraco Pace – 1720m
6 – Calypso Mistress
11 – Kimchi
5 – Glens Of Tekoa Nz
4 – Snazola
R3 – 6.59pm – Bam Stone Trot – 2200m
4 – Everybodyluvskenny
8 – Xiaobo
1 – Brookies Babe
2 – Maori Franklin
Everybodyluvskenny should have enough gate speed to find the front here. His best gate speed is a length faster than the horses drawn to his inside. If he finds the front he should be good enough to go all the way.
BACK: 4 Everybodyluvskenny – 2 units (win)
R4 – 7.36pm – Camlex Electrical Trot – 2200m
10 – Rymes
3 – Lair Of The Eagle
5 – Kyvalley Mugsy
7 – Northolt
Barrier 10 is suitable for Rymes as he can get things wrong and at the start and it allows him and space to balance up early. When he does everything right, he has a lot of ability and should be too good for this field. James Herbertson has a perfect record driving him and he hops back on tonight.
BACK: 10 Rymes – 2 units (win)
R5 – 8.06pm – Vicpour 4yo & Older Maiden Trot – 2200m
5 – Keayang Sadie
8 – Blitzer I Hope
2 – Mysterious Prince
10 – Prosperous
Keayang Sadie got it wrong in her first-up attempt earlier this month. However, she is the clear best horse in this event and should be winning if she trots all the way.
BACK: 5 Keayang Sadie – 2 units (win)
R6 – 8.42pm – Woodlands Stud Pace – 2200m
7 – American Victory
10 – Hair Razor
1 – Bettes Blue Violet
5 – Martha Lavinia
American Victory was unlucky last start when she was checked out of contention. Her start prior rates her a second better than the rest of this field. As she’s lightly raced she is likely to improve again here.
BACK: 7 American Victory – 2 units (win)
R7 – 9.13pm – Delre National Foods 4yo & Older Maiden Trot – 2200m
8 – No Remorse
3 – Col Du Granon
