Warren Huntly’s Wednesday Ballarat Preview

Posted on April 4, 2023April 4, 2023 | Posted by Warren Huntly

Race 1

Plenty to learn. ARCHO NACHO has impressed in a couple of recent jumpouts and looks ready to go for the debut. CRITIQUE has race experience and the for out of his debut has held up well. OPTUME is another with race experience and looks suited stepping up to 1100m. ZONDEE and GERRY’S DEAL have both shown talent in recent jumpouts.

Selections: 1,2,10,8

Suggested Bet: Playing multiples around 1,2 & 10

Race 2

WORLD ACTION comes through some solid form lines in her first campaign and has jumped out well to resume, expect her to take advantage of the inside draw with Meech aboard. SUBLIMINAL was narrowly beaten first up, those two spaced the rest of the field and she looks the main danger, with blinkers being swapped for winkers. FERLAZZO has jumped out well to resume and maps for a soft run. WAY UP HIGH appears to have improved during a break if her most recent jumpout is any guide.

Selections: 10,9,8,7

Suggested Bet: World Action to win

Race 3

WINNING BID is racing consistently and the form through Promises Kept reads well after Bendigo last Saturday. MAUNARENTE covered ground last time and under the circumstance ran very well. ONE LAST KISS drops in grade and should appreciate the rise in trip. TEWKESBURY is fit and consistent. If HOWLIN’ BREEZE gains a start, he has claims along with HUSSY PIE.

Selections: 14,10,13,7

Suggested Bet: Winning Bid to win

Race 4

VALSPAR had no luck first up and was solid in a strong maiden last start. He gets winkers on and looks suited by the slight rise in distance. STARIANNE ran well first up and also looks suited getting to 1400m. BRUNG KING had an encouraging first preparation and has jumped out quite well to resume. FIELDS OF JENNI worked home well on debut and is another that appears suited stepping up to 1400m. HAZEL BABY was well backed first up and will strip fitter.

Selections: 6,11,2,9

Suggested Bet: Valspar each way

---

Race 5

Tricky and potentially a tactical affair. MADAME DU GAST didn’t have much luck in the home straight first up and will be strong late. BLACKMAX also found traffic issues in the home straight last start and drops in grade. GENTILITY has plenty of upside and has jumped out quite well to resume. SERENAUR is fit and racing well. You could mount a case for every other runner.

Selections: 5,1,6,3

Suggested Bet: Including 5,1,6, & 3 in Quaddie first leg

---

Race 6

Not sure ELSKLING was best served by leading last start. Expect her to be ridden a bit more conservatively and winkers have been swapped for blinkers. LADY COURT was detected with EIPH when well supported first up in a stronger race. FIRST COMMANDMENT hit the line strongly first up and should appreciate 1600m. PATRICK is race fit and should get a soft run.

Selections: 6,7,9,4

Suggested Bet: Elskling each way

---

Race 7

FINANCE HARLEM has been jumping out in good style and generally runs well first up. BEEFEATERS may have been flattered finding the right part of the track last start but will strip fitter. RYLOV created a good impression during his first campaign and has jumped out nicely to resume. DROP THE VERSE, HYDRO STAR and DEMON BLOOD have claims.

Selections: 4,2,7,9

Suggested Bet: Finance Harlem each way

---

Race 8

SOUND OF CANNONS is an intriguing runner, his for through King Frankel and Pale King reads well and he has jumped out nicley for the new stable. SING A RAINBOW won his maiden in dominant style last start and should relish 2000m. COASTAL TOWN may need some luck from the draw but has race himself into form. ZIPPITY ZOUSTAR is racing well and gets a weight turn around on Coastal Town. PURE DEAL has a wide draw to contend with, he’s one of a few to have recent hurdle schools and is well grade after the claim.

Selections: 10,13,4,12

Suggested Bet: Sound of Cannons each way
