Our Balaklava Racing Tips for Wednesday’s meeting.
Funckia (Balaklava Race 10 No. 9)
This five-year-old Fiorente mare trained by Jake Stephens at Victor Harbor has one win and two places from five starts. She kept chasing gamely and drove hard to just miss when a close 2nd over 1600m at Strathalbyn on 26 May, then after a seven week let-up she took over at the 300m and won by 2 lengths in a 1600m maiden plate at Murray Bridge on 14 July. That was a nice win and she can go on with it now.

Each Way
Wynter Lady (Balaklava Race 9 No. 11):
This four-year-old mare trained by Roslyn Day has one win and two places from eight starts. After winning a maiden at Penola on 30 May, she winded right out for 10.7 lengths 10th over 1500m at Gawler on 16 June, then she got very close for 0.1 length 2nd over 1400m at Murray Bridge on 14 July. Justin Potter retains the ride and she looks a nice each-way chance.

Best Lay
Sharply Attired (Balaklava Race 8 No. 8):
This four-year-old Epaulette mare trained by John Macmillan is the early favourite in this BM 54 handicap over 1300m. She was found to be lame when 7.2 lengths 9th over 1350m at Strathalbyn on 31 January, then was winded out when 6.5 lengths 12th over 1200m at Murray Bridge on 14 July. I rate others above her and don’t think she will win.

Key Comments Small 7 race card. The best bet is in the last. Expecting those on speed to be suited with the rail true. Best Bet Saiko (Moruya Race 7 No. 2) Can be hard to catch but ticks boxes here. Maps well, goes well at the trip and gets conditions to suit. Doesn't win out of turn but same could be said for most of these. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker Each Way Halkis (Moruya Race 2 No. 4) Has been around the mark both runs this prep. Weighted very well after the claim and any luck from the draw will be very hard to beat.

Key Comments The feature is the Listed Sheila Gwynne Classic for fillies & mares (race 6). The track is Good and the rail is +5 metres the entire circuit. Best Bet Siren Assault (Ascot Race 1 No. 1) This filly won 2 in a row before a game 5th in the Group 2 Karrakatta Plate over 1200m here on 20th April. Provided she can handle the 7 day back-up she will be too good for this field. Check odds on SmartB Analyst:

Key Comments The rail is true. The track is in the soft range. The best bet is halfway through the day and surprised about the odds on offer for it still. Needs to lug weight but is a huge hope against this field. Best Bet Arctic Legend (Tamworth Race 5 No. 2) Steps up in grade but was nothing short of brilliant when resuming from a long break. Suited to this field. Should be able to go right on with things here and
Horse Racing Tips: VIC Friday 26th April 2024
Key Comments The rail is true. The best bet is on earlier in the day and has been brilliant in its trials. Confident on its chances at what is still a back-able price. Best Bet Night People (Cranbourne Race 2 No. 4) Has been superb in trials and looks very hard to beat here fresh. Newitt steers so expecting some front running tactics and showed plenty in the tank in a most recent trial when hitting the front early. Likeable odds and expecting
