Ballarat Race 7 Tip #8 Night Passage $4.00

Whilst she has been racing over further, this McEvoy trained mare could really make a play first-up over this 1400m trip.

She produced a good fresh run last prep, finishing 2 lengths third behind the talented Corner Pocket.

That galloper has won 7 races straight, so the form looks solid.

She has also won in this BM64 grade before, which adds genuine merit to her chances. With the 1.5kg claim for apprentice Celine Gaudray, she gets her weight down to 56.6 kg.

Look for Gaudray to go back from the wide gate and get a nice trail into the race.

If there is enough speed on up-front, she could easily run over the top of them.

 

Ballarat Race 8 Tip #1 Snappy Magnus $4.20

This son of Magnus looks a clear top pick, given he is back in class after three solid efforts in BM64 grade.

He goes well on the syntho, with one win and two placings on this surface from 4 starts.

The ever-reliable hoop Craig Newitt will put him in the firing line early and gain a forward position.

If he gets the right run in transit, Newitt should be able to boot him clear in the straight and get the money at a very backable price.
