Racing Tips – Friday Best Bets for Ballarat

Racing heads to Ballarat on Friday where the $100,000 Gold Nugget is the highlight of eight races.

Best Bet

1. Pounding
Ballarat R7 (4.30pm)

This is the easiest race Pounding has contested since Jesus played full-back for Jerusalem. The gelding has been running well in much stronger contests than this and with 60Kg, he really is very well placed if he brings his better recent form. Just needs some luck from the wide draw.

Recommended Price: $3.50
Confidence Level: 4/5


More Racing Tips

1. Duvach
Ballarat R4 (3.00pm)

Duvach wasn’t expected to do much first up being a huge drifter in the market, but defied expectations to win most impressively at Geelong. That was her first run in almost a year so there should be good improvement to come and she finds a suitable affair here.

Recommended Price: $4.00
Confidence Level: 3.5/5


11. Reserve Bank
Ballarat R6 (4.00pm)

Reserve Bank is a super promising colt who could be Saturday class or even more. He won his only start by five and a half lengths and was spelled after that. The colt has been trialling really well for the Price/Kent stable and looks primed here first up en route to better things.

Recommended Price: $2.00
Confidence Level: 4.5/5
