- 1 – Keayang Santiago
Netra was super coming home at Ballarat first-up in a slick last half and some chance she’s leader’s back here. She looks a good bet on the each-way.
BACK: 8 Netra – 1.5 units (each-way)
R5 – 8.29pm – IRT TROT – 2240m
- 1 – Gee Cee Calder
- 4 – Ringer Wells

- 10 – Tictok
R6 – 8.59pm – SWIFT SIGNS PACE – 2240m
- 3 – Fun To Love
- 5 – Gunforhire
- 7 – Hugo Rocks
- 8 – Kitsune
Fun To Love chased hard behind Pet Kitty last weekend and they ran a sharp 54.4sec last half. She was well clear of third and maps to possibly find the front here. She looks ready to win and this is suitable.
BACK: 3 Fun To Love – 3 units (win)
R7 – 9.28pm – DYNAMIC PRINT GROUP TROT – 1720m
- 6 – Kyvalleyhoneybunny
- 5 – Alrighty
- 2 – Little Yankee

R8 – 10.01pm – PRYDES EASIFEED TROTTERS FREE FOR ALL – 2240m
- 3 – Ollivici
- 4 – Keayang Stuka
- 5 – Dichotomy
- 6 – Heza Gun
Ollivici hasn’t won for over a year, but finally draws to advantage in a race where he’s the class runner. He’s been in good form this campaign, and I’m expecting him to lead and win this.
BACK: 3 Ollivici – 4 units (win)
