Ballarat Tips 11/03/2024

BEST BET 🏆   

Race 8 No. 1 SWISS EXILE- ($6.40) 

Nice race with some handy types in action in a Benchmark 84. SWISS EXILE is an Anabel Neasham-trained galloper that targeted some big races for the three-year-olds in Brisbane last autumn and returned with a promising effort at Caulfield on February 24 over the 1100m, finishing 4th behind Twin Perfection. That came off a seven month break and the son of Pariah went a healthy 8.6 lengths faster than standard. He can break a bit of a drought in this race.  

NEXT BEST 🥈   

Race 4 No.1 CITIROC- ($2.45) 

Weak race and CITIROC can capitalise. The four-year-old didn’t do much in his first four starts but has been solid in his two runs this time in, finishing runner-up at Sale over the 1000m when resuming before sticking on for 4th over the 1200m at Pakenham. The four-year-old gives the impression that 1400m should suit and draws to box seat from barrier 2.
