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.

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.

Key Comments The track is in the soft range. The rail is in the true position. The best bet lobs in the first and is ready to win. Should get every hope from the kind draw. Best Bet Buy Me A Birkin (Coonabarabran Race 1 No. 6) Hasn't missed the placings this prep from 3 goes and won't get a better chance to win than this.

Key Comments Very keen on the chances of the best bet who should relish getting off heavy ground and looks well placed racing back on its home track. Best Bet Zaragoza (Kembla Grange Race 7 No. 2) Surprised it isn't favourite. Enormous win 2 runs back beating a smart one on this track. Found the going too tough fresh but but bumped into a handy field including The Black Cloud who has won convincingly up in grade since. Tough draw but has the

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
