Thursday’s racing comes from Ballarat Racecourse, just west of Melbourne. The track will be rated good but there is some rain around.

Best Bet

15. Easy Dun
Ballarat R8 (5.00pm)

Barrier one is a concern but I think Easy Dun is the single best horse running at the entire meeting. His brilliant debut win at Bendigo and second placing to the star Air Assault in Adelaide suggests that. I think he is a group horse in the making, and if the breaks go his way, he is very much the one to beat.

Recommended Price: $4.40
Confidence Level: 4/5

7. Sardius

Sardius was a sharp improver last time at Moe when stepping out to 2400m. He comes from a top stable when it comes to training stayers and he should relish the extra 200m here in what is a very ordinary affair.

7. Macy Moon
Ballarat R6 (4.00pm)

This is a handy race but I lived the return of Macy Moon here a fortnight ago, picking through the field en route to running third. The mare will appreciate a little further but she is capable of racing on the speed. Looks very talented and she’s a big show in this at nice odds.

Recommended Price: $5.00
