Ballarat Tips 31/10/2022
BEST BET 🏆
Race 6 No. 2 OCEANS OF STAMINA- ($6.50)
OCEANS OF STAMINA looks to be a solid prospect in Race 6 of the day at Ballarat. The six-year-old resumed at the track and trip on October 7 and produced the fastest last 200m to run 3rd behind Sycorax. The Ben Brisbourne-trained galloper went 2.3 lengths slower than standard, which are the second best last start figures of any runner. Second up last time he improved seven lengths on figures, while his two wins have come over the distance on the Pakenham Synthetic. Hannah Edgley claims the 2kg and just needs to overcome the wide barrier.
NEXT BEST 🥈
Race 5 No. 2 LOVIN’ LAUGHS– ($6.50)
Liked the performance of LOVIN’ LAUGHS at Sale over the 1400m on October 23 and the six-year-old can go a few spots better after finishing 5th behind Prowling, beaten less than two lengths. The Mick Sell-trained galloper drops in grade for this assignment and is a previous Ballarat Synthetic winner. Best performances seem to come when he is punched out to lead and looking for the Madison Lloyd to work forward from barrier 7.
