Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted March 8 Journalists Share Posted March 8 What Ballarat Races Where Ballarat Turf Club – 240 Kennedys Rd, Miners Rest VIC 3352 When Monday, March 11, 2024 First Race 12:10pm AEDT Visit Dabble Public holiday racing in Victoria heads to Ballarat on Monday afternoon for a stacked nine-race meeting. Hot weather is forecast for the day, so an early start to the day is likely, with a track rated a Good 4, and the rail out 3m the entire circuit. At the time of acceptances, racing is scheduled to commence at 12:10pm AEDT. Best Bet at Ballarat: Rheinberg Rheinberg strung together four wins in an unbeaten campaign during the spring, and if he is anywhere close to that level on Monday, he should prove too classy for his rivals. The five-year-old gelding beat handy types like Chorlton Lane and Dashing, and looks to be a horse going places as he rises through the grades. From barrier one, Rheinberg will stalk the speed throughout under Mick Dee, and with even luck in the home straight, Rheinberg should just be winning first-up from a spell. Best Bet Race 8 – #2 Rheinberg (1) 5yo Gelding | T: Ben, Will & JD Hayes | J: Michael Dee (60kg) +130 with Bet365 Next Best at Ballarat: Porter The Danny O’Brien-trained Porter looks to have found the right race to break maiden ranks, despite a slightly poor run when first-up at Bendigo. The three-year-old was having his first start as a gelding, but was forced to travel three wide with no cover and ultimately faded late inside the final 100m. He chased home some handy types during his initial campaign without success, but gets his chance at Ballarat. Billy Egan will look to land him in the one-one, and with even luck, Porter can sprint clear of his rivals. Next Best Race 5 – #4 Porter (7) 3yo Gelding | T: Danny O’Brien | J: Billy Egan (58kg) +300 with Picklebet Best Value at Ballarat: Chosen Legend Unless an emergency gains a start, the Archie Alexander-trained Chosen Legend is the only juvenile with race experience in Monday’s two-year-old event. The Extreme Choice filly chased home Bold Bastille and Hayasugi when finishing third in October at Moonee Valley, beaten 4.5 lengths. She started favourite in that race, suggesting she has a stack of talent we haven’t seen yet. From barrier 12, Declan Bates will look to roll forward and hold a prominent spot, and if she does not use up too many tickets within the first furlong, Chosen Legend looks a great play at a nice price with horse racing bookmakers. Best Value Race 2 – #8 Chosen Legend (12) 2yo Filly | T: Archie Alexander | J: Declan Bates (56kg) +900 with Neds Ballarat Monday quaddie tips Ballarat quadrella selections Monday, March 11, 2024 6-9-13-14 3-7-8 2-3 1-2-3-4-6-7 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip More horse racing tips View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
