Our Balaklava Racing Tips for Wednesdays meeting.
Exalted Queen (Balaklava Race 1 No. 2)
This four-year-old mare has had 16 starts for two wins and two places and both wins were at this distance. She battled away evenly for 2.8 lengths 7th over 1100m at Strathalbyn on 18 November, then chased strongly but couldn’t reel in the winner when 1.7 lengths 2nd over 1100m at Strathalbyn on 29 November. She looks nicely placed here and can win again.
