Our Balaklava Racing Tips for Wednesday’s meeting.
Sea Witness (Balaklava Race 6 No. 3)
This five-year-old gelding has been in the trifecta at his last three starts. He went for home and was grabbed late for 0.2 length 2nd over 1000m at Morphettville Parks on 10 September, then led throughout and kicked on gamely for a 0.8 length win over 1000m at Morphettville Parks on 1 October. Likely to race on the speed and rates highly with Jason Benbow aboard.

Each Way
Is That So (Balaklava Race 7 No. 4)
This seven-year-old So You Think gelding has only won two of his 32 starts, but regularly collects prizemoney. He hit the lead approaching the turn and kept going strongly for a 0.8 length win over 1300m at Bordertown on 21 August, then got to the lead but weakened in the final 200m to finish 3 lengths 4th over 1400m at Balaklava on 14 September. Well worth an each-way bet.

Lucky Fortuna (Balaklava Race 4 No. 8)
This unraced Smart Missile filly is the early favourite in this 3YO & Up Maiden Handicap over 1050m. Around half of the field are first starters while others have runs on the board and some are looking close to a win. She ran 2nd in a Balaklave trial on 19 September, but the price looks too short.

Key Comments Racing on the new Heath track. Has been playing fair to date. The best bet brings in some very strong form and will prove awfully hard to stave off later on in the day. Best Bet Warnie (Caulfield Heath Race 9 No. 3) In well at the weights dropping 4kgs and having chased the likes of Welwal and Arkansaw Kid who would both be very short in this. Drawn well and should be able to spin into the podium from the
