Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 18, 2022 Journalists Share Posted October 18, 2022 What Ladies Day Where Ballarat Turf Club – 240 Kennedys Rd, Miners Rest VIC 3352 When Thursday, October 20, 2022 First Race 1pm AEDT Visit Ladbrokes The Ballarat Turf Club will hold its annual Ladies Day meeting this Thursday, where all nine races will feature just fillies and mares. The track is currently rated as a Soft 7, due to the high amount of rain that Victoria has seen over the past week; however, there is some good weather predicted for Wednesday and Thursday, so we don’t expect the track to be rated any worse come raceday. The rail will be in the 6m position for the entire circuit and racing kicks off at 1pm AEDT. Best Bet: Cheval Chic In the fourth race of the day, Cheval Chic for the Danny O’Brien yard looks to be a good bet after coming through a very good form race last time out. Even though this daughter of Written Tycoon lost by four lengths to Greece at Geelong on debut, the latter ran in the Group 2 Reisling Stakes, is nominated for multiple races at Moonee Valley and looks to be well-above average, so it is good form to go off. On debut Cheval Chic was run off her legs early before she recovered along the rail and tracked up the leaders, and once the leader kicked away this girl found some room and ran home very well to beat the rest of the field comfortably. Jye McNeil will stick with this three-year-old filly after riding her on debut, which gives us more confidence that she will be very hard to beat on Thursday. Best Bet Race 4 – #2 Cheval Chic (4) 3yo Filly | T: Danny O’Brien | J: Jye McNeil (57kg) $3.80 with Bet365 Next Best Bet: Hesitate In the first leg of the quaddie, the Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young-trained Hesitate will be looking for her third win from in her last four starts. This four-year-old mare was very tough on speed last start over 1765m at Geelong on September 29, winning by a half-head on the line after leading from barrier to winning post in a Benchmark 64. This daughter of El Roca has been in the top two at her last four starts, recording two wins and two seconds, and with the drop back to 1600m today, she looks to have the fitness to free wheel out in front and be very hard to get past in the concluding stages. Next Best Bet Race 6 – #4 Hesitate (4) 4yo Mare | T: Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young | J: Craig Newitt (60.5kg) $4.20 with Bet365 Best Value: For Real Life The Leon & Troy Corstens trained-For Real Life, has been luckless this preparation since winning her first-up run, as she has only finished in the top three once in her previous four starts. She now gets back to Ballarat where she has won her only start at the track and has a win and a second from three starts at the 1200m. This daughter of Capitalist was much better last start, where she could have won if she saw daylight before the 100m mark. After being held in by a horse that was slowing on her outside, this mare got out and she let down very nicely over 1125m at Geelong, so with the rise to 1200m on Thursday, it should suit her right down to the ground if she gets any luck in running. Best Value Race 7 – #2 For Real Life (4) 4yo Mare | T: Leon & Troy Corstens | J: (60.5kg) $6 with Bet365 Ballarat quaddie tips for Ladies Day 2022 Ballarat quadrella selections Thursday, October 20, 2022 2-4-9 2-4-5-6 2-5-6-13 1-6-11-15 Investment: $192 for 100% More horse racing tips View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
