Our Balaklava Racing Tips for Wednesday’s meeting.
El Magnificence (Balaklava Race 6 No. 4)
This seven-year-old Magnus gelding trained by Andrew Clarken at Strathalbyn has four wins and seven places from 34 starts. He finished 1.4 lengths 4th over 1000m at Morphettville Parks on 28 August, then gained the upper hand in the final 50m for a length win over 1050m at Balaklava on 15 September. He has raced at Balaklava twice before for a place and a win. Should be hard to beat.

Happy Atom (Balaklava Race 3 No. 7):
This six-year-old Atomic mare trained by Phillipe Huserot at Strathalbyn has two wins and 11 places from 39 starts. She loomed up strongly at the top of the straight but was outgunned in the last 50m for 2.4 lengths 3rd over 1800m at Murray Bridge on 5 September then ran on strongly and dived late for 0.4 length 2nd, 5.6 lengths ahead of the 3rd horse over 1900m at Oakbank on 12 September. Has placed at 3 of 4 previous outings to the track and looks a nice each-way chance again.

Tough Lassie (Balaklava Race 7 No. 3):
This four-year-old All Too Hard mare trained by Chris Bieg is the early favourite in this Fillies and Mares 0-58 handicap over 1200m. At the end of last campaign she finished last of 11 over 1300m at Penola on 30 May and was spelled for 15 weeks. When resuming she tried hard for 0.6 length 3rd over 1200m at Balaklava on 15 September. Goes up 3.5 kg and I’m prepared to risk her here.
