Our Balaklava Racing Tips for Wednesdays meeting.
Spinola Bay (Balaklava Race 2 No. 8)
This three-year-old Cluster filly has two places from three starts and resumes here. She settled last and worked home nicely for 2.3 lengths 4th over 1100m at Gawler on 2 January, then was taken very wide and drove strongly late to just miss for 0.2 length 2nd over 1000m at Murray Bridge on 16 January. Resumes after 16 weeks and should win.

Each Way
Jive Baby (Balaklava Race 7 No. 12):
This four-year-old Rubick mare has one win and four places from 17 starts. She tracked wide and never came into it when 6.8 lengths 9th over 1400m at Oakbank on 3 April, then chased gamely and made ground for 1.3, 0.2 lengths 3rd over 1600m at Strathalbyn on 18 April. That last run was very encouraging and she looks worth an each-way bet here.

Baracus (Balaklava Race 5 No. 2):
This four-year-old Brazen Beau gelding is the early favourite in this BM 54 handicap over 1300m. He got an ideal trail and kept chasing solidly for 0.6 length 2nd over 1200m at Naracoorter on 14 April, then dropped out in the final 200m for 11 lengths 12th over 1200m at Murray Bridge on 5 May. Has only placed once in his last 9 starts and happy to go around him.

Key Comments The feature is the $50,000 Metric Mile over 1600m (race 7). The track is sand and is rated good and the weather is fine. Best Bet Miss Polly (Darwin Race 1 No. 6) She came from the outside barrier to be runner-up on debut over 1200m here. Emma Lines rides again and has a 1.5 kg claim, and this time she has draw the rails. Hard to beat. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson
