Ballarat Tips 26/5/2023

BEST BET 🏆 (WIN)  

Race 6 No. 1 GRAHAM- ($2.45)

GRAHAM can go close in Race 6. The four-year-old has had four career runs with two of those coming on the Synthetic at Ballarat. He won well last year at his first go on the surface and resumed at the track and trip on May 9, finishing runner-up behind Intrepid Eagle. He was three wide without cover in that race but stuck on well. Improvement to come at his second run and the son of Host should be had to beat. 

NEXT BEST 🥈 (WIN) 

Race 4 No 12  YALTARA- ($2.80)

YALTARA gets her chance in Race 4. The Maher/Eustace filly has been competitive in some ok form races in her three career starts and resumed with a 4th placing during the Warrnambool carnival over the 1200m. She settled handy but was held up at the top of the straight before closing off steadily behind Sasqualah. She should have improvement to come at her second run in and just needs to handle the synthetic to take this one out.
