Our Ballarat Horse Racing Tips for the weekend.
The main race is the $500,000 Ballarat Cup.
The Astrologist (Ballarat Race 9 No. 3)
This four-year-old Zoustar gelding trained by Leon and Troy Corstens has three wins and four places from nine starts. He resumed from a spell for a 2.75 length win over 1100m at Geelong on 21 October, then only went down in the last couple of strides for 0.2 lengths 2nd in the Listed MSS Security Sprint over 1200m at Flemington on 3 November. Should race on the speed and win again.

Reflect The Stars (Ballarat Race 2 No. 6):
This five-year-old Starspangledbanner mare has three wins and six places from 18 starts. She resumed after 25 weeks for 2.65 lengths 7th over 1600m at Bendigo on 7 October, then chased hard out wide to get up on the line for a 0.1 length win over 2400m at Geelong on 21 October. Looks like a nice each-way bet here.

Lunakorn (Ballarat Race 6 No. 13):
This four-year-old mare trained by Anthony Freedman at Mornington is the early favourite in this BM 78 handicap for mares over 1200m. She resumed after 18 weeks for 2.8 lengths 12th over 1000m at Sandown Hillside on 9 September, then chased hard the entire straight for 0.75 lengths 2nd when favourite over 1200m at Mornington on 1 November. This is a very open race and she doesn’t represent value.

Horse Racing Tips: NSW Sunday 13th October 2024
Key Comments The track is in the good range. The best bet resumes off a break and has been heavily backed with conditions to suit. The feature race is the Coonamble Cup (race 7). Best Bet Jessandi (Coonamble Race 6 No. 8) Big hope resuming for the new stable and the early market support is a great sign, as is the push of Bullock riding. Can take this out on resumption and gets conditions to suit. Check odds on SmartB

Key Comments The track is in the soft range. The best bet comes up in the second race of the day and is nearing a win. Best Bet Mandalong Starz (Queanbeyan Race 2 No. 7) Weighted well after the claim and has put together back to back placings. This trip suits, this race suits and ideally an on speed steer can see it go close in this company. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker
