Our Balaklava Racing Tips for Wednesday’s meeting.
El Magnificence (Balaklava Race 6 No. 4)
This seven-year-old Magnus gelding trained by Andrew Clarken at Strathalbyn has four wins and seven places from 34 starts. He finished 1.4 lengths 4th over 1000m at Morphettville Parks on 28 August, then gained the upper hand in the final 50m for a length win over 1050m at Balaklava on 15 September. He has raced at Balaklava twice before for a place and a win. Should be hard to beat.

Happy Atom (Balaklava Race 3 No. 7):
This six-year-old Atomic mare trained by Phillipe Huserot at Strathalbyn has two wins and 11 places from 39 starts. She loomed up strongly at the top of the straight but was outgunned in the last 50m for 2.4 lengths 3rd over 1800m at Murray Bridge on 5 September then ran on strongly and dived late for 0.4 length 2nd, 5.6 lengths ahead of the 3rd horse over 1900m at Oakbank on 12 September. Has placed at 3 of 4 previous outings to the track and looks a nice each-way chance again.

Tough Lassie (Balaklava Race 7 No. 3):
This four-year-old All Too Hard mare trained by Chris Bieg is the early favourite in this Fillies and Mares 0-58 handicap over 1200m. At the end of last campaign she finished last of 11 over 1300m at Penola on 30 May and was spelled for 15 weeks. When resuming she tried hard for 0.6 length 3rd over 1200m at Balaklava on 15 September. Goes up 3.5 kg and I’m prepared to risk her here.

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:
