Our Balaklava Racing Tips for Wednesdays meeting.
Kalamon (Balaklava Race 7 No. 2)
This four-year-old Husson gelding has had 22 starts for four wins and four places and three of those wins were at this track and distance. He jumped awkwardly and drifted back before finishing 2.8 lengths 5th over 1540m at Morphettville on 20 February, then hit the lead at the 200m and kept going strongly for a 1.5 length win over 1600m at Balaklava on 28 February. This looks no stronger than last start and he can win again.

Each Way
Trivago Girl (Balaklava Race 5 No. 6):
This four-year-old Stryker mare has two wins and one place from 12 starts. She worked home solidly for 1.2 lengths 2nd over 1360m at Kingscote on 18 February, then took over at the 100m and held off a late challenge for a 0.7 length win over 1360m at Kingscote on 20 February. She is going well at the moment and is worth an each-way wager.

Best Lay
Our Benevento (Balaklava Race 6 No. 4):
This six-year-old Helmet mare is the early favourite in this BM 54 handicap over 1200m. She was well-supported in the betting when 4.5 lengths 5th over 1200m at Naracoorte on 27 December, then she was sent out as favourite and led on the rails before being overpowered in the final 100m and finishing 1.7 lengths 4th over 1050m at Balaklava on 28 February. She hasn’t won over this distance in 15 attempts and I don’t expect that to change here.

Horse Racing Tips: NT Saturday 29th March 2025
Key Comments There are 7 races and the feature is the $40,000 Chief Minister's Cup over 1600 metres (race 7). The sand track is rated good and the rail remains in the true position. Best Bet Hasseltoff (Alice Springs Race 7 No. 5) In great form winning 5 of 7 races this preparation. Comes off 3 wins in a row all by decent margins and has won both times he’s raced here. Should be winning. Analyst: Jo Jackson

Key Comments The track is in the good range. The best bet was excellent last prep and can resume a winner in the last of the day. Best Bet Alternate (Avoca Race 8 No. 2) Didn't miss the quinella last prep and is an ultra consistent type who should be primed for this first up affair. Can roll forward from the draw and give this a shake. Analyst: Bryce Parker Each Way
Horse Racing Tips: NSW Saturday 29th March 2025
Key Comments The track is in the soft range. The best bet has been heavily backed and just needs luck from the draw to be winning at a price. Best Bet Yamba's Girl (Port Macquarie Race 4 No. 2) Stuck on the one win but finds a great chance to make it two. Lost in this grade by a head 2 runs back and far from disgraced up in grade in its last run. Drawn wide but does have the class edge
