Ballarat Cup Horse Racing Tips from Michael Manley

 

Ballarat Race 9 #16 Poison Chalice $4.40

Paul Preusker has a strong chance to make it successive Ballarat Cup wins with Poison Chalice.

This is a horse he rates just as highly, if not higher, than last year’s victor Captain Envious.

Poison Chalice began his spring campaign in fine form but has been plagued by bad luck in his last three starts.

At The Valley, he endured a tough run and was flattened near the line, an effort that should have resulted in a win.

At Flemington he simply got too far back and last week in the Eclipse Stakes, he was the only on-pacer to be competitive.

With a likely favourable on-speed run and his proven affinity for heavy ground, Poison Chalice looks well-placed here.

Craig Williams takes the ride, and the step up to 2200m should suit him perfectly.

He’s a strong chance to deliver a standout performance in the Ballarat Cup.
