Our Balaklava Racing Tips for Wednesdays meeting.
Turn Table (Balaklava Race 1 No. 4)
This four-year-old Rebel Raider gelding trained by Jake Stephens at Victor Harbour resumes here. He debuted with 0.4 length 3rd over 1516m at Gawler on 19 August on a heavy track, then over-raced early and worked home where the tempo didn’t suit for a length 4th over 1500m at Gawler on 2 September. He has been spelled for 34 weeks and is the top pick in this maiden plate.

Each Way
Dawn Salute (Balaklava Race 7 No. 3):
This four-year-old Hussonet gelding has two wins and three places from 13 starts. He resumed from a 20 week spell for 5.5 lengths 4th over 1000m at Morphettville Parks on 19 February where he never looked likely, then he ran three wide with no cover before tiring in the final 200m to finish 8.1 lengths 13th over 1200m at Murray Bridge on 27 February. He has had an eight week let-up and with barrier 1 and Kayla Crowther loks a good each way chance over the 1050m distance.

Best Lay
Koruto (Balaklava Race 6 No. 2):
This three-year-old Written Tycoon gelding is the early favourite in this 0-58 handicap over 1300m. He ran 3rd three times in a row before a 1.1 length win in a maiden plate over 1100m at Strathalbyn on 24 March, then made ground late for 1.8 lengths 5th over 1100m at Strathalbyn on 18 April. Others look better placed and he offers no value.

Key Comments The rail is true. The track is in the soft range. This track usually favours those on speed. Best Bet Final Atom (Horsham Race 7 No. 1) Should land up on speed and prove hard to catch. Walters steers from the good draw and she is 3 rides aboard for 2 seconds. Hard to beat. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker Each Way Bubble Palace (Horsham Race 6 No. 5) Should

Key Comments The best bet bobs up in the first. The track is in the heavy range. Best Bet Snatchreilly (Newcastle Race 1 No. 5) Good 2 efforts so far this prep. Maps really well, goes forward and Latham sticks. Slight query on heavy ground but ticks all the other boxes.

Key Comments There are 6 races on a Good track. The rail is in the true position. Best Bet Bungarribee Lad (Barcaldine Race 6 No. 3) Bungarribee Lad kept coming but couldn’t reel in the leader for 0.5 length 2nd over 1300m at Rockhampton last start.
