Best Bet Eagle Farm race 8 Better Land; Certainty beaten (like every loser I Tip!) last start, Jim Byrne owes followers a winner. Drawn and weighted perfectly.
Ballarat race 1 Cheeky Babe; Melbourne leading trainer Darren Weir's home track should kick off with a win, progressing nicely and placed to perfection.
race 5 Galaxy Raider; Always shown above average ability, finally put it together last start braining an easier race with the handbrake on so hopefully goes on with it.
race 7 Speedeor; Another Weir runner who has won both starts this prep jumping from a maiden to a stakes race which takes a smart horse. One of the bets of the day.
Ascot race 2 Secret Assault; One at massive odds on a really tough program. Will go hammer and tongs the whole way, hopefully all the way. Small each way the go.
race 4 Sasso Circus; Damian Oliver rides for LDR trainer Jason Miller. Track record reads 4 starts for 3 wins and a second including 1 at distance. $8 currently while fav Cronkite 2 starts for zippo and never tried at distance. Good each way value.
race 9 Jestajingle; Bred in the purple and lightly raced, big step up in grade but covered them with a couple of strides last start. Best bet on card.
