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 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.
