Spirited Defence’s record at this track is impossible to ignore – four wins and two second placings from six starts. He ventured to the Pakenham synthetic last time and was far from disgraced in a particularly strong BM70, and back to his happy hunting ground, he should prove a class above.

Recommended Price: $2.60
Confidence Level: 4.5/5

3. Leopolo

Ballarat R1 (1.00pm)

The McEvoy stable deliver on this track time and again and they have another likely candidate here in this first starter Leopolo. The colt has been jumping out well ahead of his debut and looks to be suited kicking off at 1400m. Harry Coffey will give him every chance from barrier six.

Recommended Price: $1.80
Confidence Level: 4/5

5. Starburst

Ballarat R6 (3.30pm)

Starburst is another from the McEvoy stable who relishes this track, in her case improving sharply here last time to finish second behind a pretty handy one in Rosangela. She stays in BM56 company today and is very nicely placed with the claim for Olivia East.

Recommended Price: $2.00
Confidence Level: 4/5
