Best Bets of the Day

Check out the free racing tips and best bets for Thursday's racing at Ballarat and Kembla Grange. Into You has caught my eye in Race 6 at Ballarat. Meanwhile, my roughie of the day is Fugitiva at Kembla Grange in Race 8. The Ballarat track is looking decent for race day on Thursday, it's a soft 6 rating at this stage. The Kembla Grange track is rated a heavy 10 for racing on Thursday so it's advisable to back runners that have a good history in heavy conditions. Let's get into it!

Best Tip: Into You #1 Ballarat R6

Into You has finished 5th in back-to-back runs, but it hasn’t been far off. So I like its chances of bouncing back with a win in Thursday’s race at Ballarat. It has won before at this track and also at the distance. So that bodes well for this race. Should enjoy running third-up too, has won before when it was last third-up.

Best Roughie: Fugitiva #5 Kembla Grange R8

On September 21 at Newcastle in a BM68 over 1300m, Fugitiva started slow and finished 6th out of 9, while carrying 57kg at $6.00 odds. Previously, 1st of 9 at Kembla Grange Cls 1 on August 31, 2024 over 1200m. So I think that’s a better guide for this race at the same track. It seems to enjoy racing at Kembla with 3 placings and a win in 4 starts. Also won at Hawkesbury in its last race on a heavy track and the heavy conditions should suit on Thursday.

Stats and Insights

  • At Ballarat, runners outside of around the ten suffer at least a length’s advantage due to the uniquely challenging nature of the straight.
  • The Kembla Grange course is 2200m in circumference with a straight length of 420m and this suites horses that run on strongly.
  • The first 3-4 races in most meetings are called "Maidens" and these races are usually risky and unpredictable. This is because the runners are usually making their debut or have only had a few starts. So it's advisable to stay from these races unless you have a good bankroll.
