Daily Racing Tips – Monday 16th August

Ballarat - Race 2 1:30pm AEST
No. 7 Fede Sempre

Fede Sempre is a much better horse than her current odds suggest and she is great value in a very open race.

Her two race starts this preparation have been better than they look on paper and the step-up to 1500 metres suits.

The Keep The Faith mare will be storming home in the concluding stages of this contest.

Ballarat - Race 5 3:00pm AEST
No. 4 Lonhgoal

Lonhgoal may never have a better chance to claim a maiden race win.

She has form around some good horses this campaign and she finds herself in a fairly weak contest at Ballarat this afternoon.

Barrier five is perfect and she maps to get a lovely run in transit with Luke Nolen in the saddle.

Ballarat - Race 6 3:30pm AEST
No. 3 Toyz On Fire

Toyz On Fire is deserving of her status as a clear favourite and on exposed form she does have a genuine class edge over the rest of this field.

The Fighting Sun mare has raced well first-up in the past and this is good placement from the McEvoy stable first-up.

Josh Richards is riding extremely well and Toyz On Fire will have every possible chance in the run.

Ballarat - Race 8 4:30pm AEST
No. 2 Vahash

I am a fan of a number of horses in this field, but Vahash is definitely the class runner in this field.

Vahash could hardly have been more impressive when he bolted in over this track and distance last start and a repeat of that effort would make him very tough to beat.

He is another horse that should get a dream run with Josh Richards in the saddle and it will be interesting to watch him work his way back through the grades.
