THOROUGHBREDS
Ballarat: Race 2; #1 Aqueduct
Aqueduct won well at this track and distance in a race that rated well but now gets Olivia East on board, who will likely be dictated to by D.Lane, one of the world's best jockeys and because of that, I couldn't have him anywhere near the price of the favourite.
Ballarat: Race 8; #4 Cripps
A few horses I would've been keen to back in their right races all find the same race. I am against Cripps, who I have a knock on at 1400m and will have plenty of company near the front with the likes of Treasuretheflight, Flying Mikki and Blakmax.
