Friday Racing Tips - Ballarat 02/08/24

The prospect of spring continues to loom large in Victoria but for the time being, the heavy going and soggy conditions should provide another challenge for all who line up here at Ballarat.

With an 8-race card on offer, punters have plenty to get on board with and as ever, OnlyRacing are on hand to help all players find the best bets for them, with the best betting sites in the business.

(Note: Odds provided by Puntnow)

Selections:
1. Advance To Jaffa - $1.80
9. Lady Avenger - $4.80
2, Flashbang - $5.00

BEST BET - Advance To Jaffa - $1.80
Two placings from two career outings suggest that Advance To Jaffa has been very unlucky in its previous races and this should be the ideal fit here at Ballarat, especially with a change in training schedule of late.

THE DANGER - Lady Avenger - $4.80
It has been a tricky run of form lately for Lady Avenger but it is a horse from serious stock and this trip at Ballarat should be the perfect fit. Almost a year off poses a question mark but Lady Avenger certainly should be able to challenge here.

VALUE BET - Flashbang - $5.00
By contrast, Flashbang is fit and firing following some impressive recent runs and this should be a good fit at Ballarat. It is a step up in quality but Flashbang needs a win and it could indeed come here.

Selections:
1. Orlabent - $2.90
5. Scream - $5.00
2. Rosalia - $5.50

BEST BET - Orlabent - $2.90
With two wins from its last three races, Orlabent is fit and raring to go here at Ballarat. Coming up short in a stronger field at Sandown last time out will hurt but Orlabent is ready to respond here.

THE DANGER - Scream - $5.00
Having won over course and distance at Ballarat just a couple of weeks ago, Scream should be firmly in contention here and whilst this is a step up in quality, it is a horse that should be able to step up to the challenge.

VALUE BET - Rosalia - $5.50
It was indeed Rosalia that finished second to Scream that day at Ballarat last time out and having run Scream so close, this should be the perfect opportunity to get one back over its bitter rival, on familiar territory.

Selections:
4. Sea Of Lights - $2.30
3. Queen Beira - $3.90
7. Radstar - $10.00

BEST BET - Sea Of Lights - $2.30
Few horses at this level are as consistent as Sea Of Lights and this is another chance to put a good performance in here for connections at Ballarat and it is the strong favourite here.

THE DANGER - Queen Beira - $3.90
Recent performances have been poor by Queen Beira's strong standards but with the synthetic track in play, it should be in contention here and 1500m is certainly its best distance. 

VALUE BET - Radstar - $10.00
At this level, having recent wins in the bag is huge and Radstar will believe that it can continue its good form, having won at this very track a couple of weeks ago and it is the value bet of the day.
