In its last race at Ballarat Synthetic on July 16, it came out on top with a winning margin of 0.8 lengths. It was carrying 57kg and held off Rosalia (61.5kg), which was pretty good to watch at $5.50 odds. So, it's looking in good touch for this race. Before that, Santastico finished first at Ballarat Synthetic in a BM70 on July 5, 2024 over 1200m. Very good record at the track, watch out for it on Tuesday. Fourth-up should not be a problem for this horse. In good form at the moment, so hopefully that continues. Highest odds at Chasebet.

Resuming on Tuesday. I like the form of Kensington Diva for Race 8 at Ballarat Synthetic on Tuesday. Won at Ballarat Synthetic over 1000m on May 21. Before that, Kensington Diva finished first at Geelong in a Mdn on October 5, 2023 over 1243m. Likes running at Ballarat Synthetic, among the dangers for sure. Loves the distance and I hope that continues over the 1000m. Should enjoy running first-up as has been the case in it's career. In winning form, don't look past it.

Last time out at Muswellbrook, No Second Thoughts was right up there with the leaders and put in a solid effort. He showed great speed and battled on fairly well. This time, I think it's got a more favourable draw, which should give him a better shot. With that advantage, it's definitely among the dangers and one to watch closely. In its last start, No Second Thoughts was 56.5kg and ended up finishing 2nd, behind Sigsworth (53.5kg) over 1000m after being right in the thick of things around the corner. Very good record at the track, watch out for it on Tuesday. Very good career record in second-up situations too. Racing well at the moment, so I like its chances. Best odds at Chasebet or BlueBet.
